Focused, hard work is the real key to success  (John Carmack Quotes) It’s a good thing Doom 3 is selling very well  (John Carmack Quotes) Making one brilliant decision and a whole bunch of mediocre ones isn’t as good as making a whole bunch of generally smart decisions throughout the whole process.  (John Carmack Quotes) It’s done, when it’s done  (John Carmack Quotes) Everybody’s saturated with the marketing hype of next-generation consoles. They are wonderful, but the truth is that they are as powerful as a high end PC is right now  (John Carmack Quotes) Programming is not a zero-sum game.

But being well-rounded is greatly overrated  (John Carmack Quotes) I have fond memories of the development work that led to a lot of great things in modern gaming - the intensity of the first person experience, LAN and Internet play, game mods, and so on.  (John Carmack Quotes) Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren’t sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better.  (John Carmack Quotes) Developing games for the PC and consoles is all about everything and the kitchen sink. In many ways, you don’t have design decisions to make. You do it all. So I enjoy going back to making decisions about what’s important as I’m working on a game.  (John Carmack Quotes) Programming is not a zero-sum game. Teaching something to a fellow programmer doesn’t take it away from you. I’m happy to share what I can, because I’m in it for the love of programming.  (John Carmack Quotes) It’s nice to have a game that sells a million copies  (John Carmack Quotes) The speed of light sucks  (John Carmack Quotes) I like to think I’m pretty good at what I do  (John Carmack Quotes) Focus is a matter of deciding what things you’re not going to do  (John Carmack Quotes) Rocket science has been mythologized all out of proportion to its true difficulty  (John Carmack Quotes) One of the big lessons of a big project is you don’t want people that aren’t really programmers programming, you’ll suffer for it!  (John Carmack Quotes) Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It’s expected to be there, but it’s not that important  (John Carmack Quotes) Sometimes, the elegant implementation is just a function. Not a method. Not a class. Not a framework. Just a function  (John Carmack Quotes) Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren’t sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better  (John Carmack Quotes) It is not that uncommon for the cost of an abstraction to outweigh the benefit it delivers. Kill one today!  (John Carmack Quotes) If you aren’t sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better  (John Carmack Quotes) Some cynical people think that every activity must revolve around the mighty dollar, and that anyone saying otherwise is just attempting to delude the public. I will probably never be able to convice them that that isn’t always the case, but I do have the satisfaction of knowing that I live in a less dingy world than they do  (John Carmack Quotes) An interesting question: is it easier to motivate a learned individual that never does anything, or educate an ignorant individual that actually produces things?  (John Carmack Quotes) If you’re willing to restrict the flexibility of your approach, you can almost always do something better  (John Carmack Quotes) The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying  (John Carmack Quotes) Honestly, I spend very little time thinking about past events, and I certainly don’t have them ranked in any way. I look back and think that I have done a lot of good work over the years, but I am much more excited about what the future holds  (John Carmack Quotes) The cost of adding a feature isn’t just the time it takes to code it. The cost also includes the addition of an obstacle to future expansion... The trick is to pick the features that don’t fight each other  (John Carmack Quotes) I’d rather have a search engine or a compiler on a deserted island than a game  (John Carmack Quotes) At its best, entertainment is going to be a subjective thing that can’t win for everyone, while at worst, a particular game just becomes a random symbol for petty tribal behavior  (John Carmack Quotes)
