  When I watched it a couple months ago, I did not know that this was the Minecraft developer (I think it was before Minecraft was released). The video is and was probably the most inspiring thing on the power of creative programming I've ever seen. His ability to iterate and iterate and create something out of literally black nothingness. When you see him doing the artwork, you're like woah - he does his own graphics too!

    He was already living off of MC revenue by that time.

  I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels inadequate after watching his coding session streams.

    I'm a writer and I feel inadequate after watching his coding sessions. If I could write like he codes, I'd be putting Stephen King to shame by the end of the week. I hope to god this isn't just a prodigy stage in his game developing abilities.

  Just as a piece of context, this video was created as part of a competition called Ludum Dare. LD is a competition where a bunch of indie devs and hobbyists get together and make something in a short time frame (48 hours in this case) and share what they made.
