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!

Because of the nature of Moore's law, anything that an extremely clever graphics programmer can do at one point can be replicated by a merely competent programmer some number of years later.

Sometimes, the elegant implementation is just a function. Not a method. Not a class. Not a framework. Just a function.

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.

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.

It's a good thing Doom 3 is selling very well.

I like to think I'm pretty good at what I do.
