I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Nice! Jon Carmack is great! I still have yet to read Masters of Doom but it's on my list!
I actually got to interview John Romero ages ago... and I never published it. 😓I should've... I was trying to get it out there prior to him speaking at a show, then I got buried in other work and ended up discarding it. But, he was definitely a fun person to talk to. The early id team sound very much like indie devs. I remember I dug their ten development commandments.
Head of Product at Temporal. Previously lead architect and low-level systems programmer for scale out SaaS offering. Game engine developer, ML engineering expert. DMs open on Twitter.

The original ID team was honestly amazing, would have loved to work with them.
You can still publish that John Romero interview. I would read it.
The ten dev commandments only mostly held up with time. A few questionable items these days.
