Before Valve and Gabe-mania my first dev crush was John Carmack. His postings and .plan files where were not only shockingly open and honest, but, I guess, genuine... it was apparent that here was a very successful man that was like me...an unrepentant nerd and geek! It is nice to know that that attribute of the company in general has not changed.

- follower 15y agoYou might like to check out my Labradoc site which is designed to make it easier to create project/dev logs: http://labradoc.com/ http://labradoc.com/ Here's an example of a project log for a current project I'm working on: http://www.labradoc.com/i/follower/p/notes-qualcomm-apq8060-dragonboard http://www.labradoc.com/i/follower/p/notes-qualcomm-apq8060-... My style is more verbose than Carmack's but Labradoc can be used with either approach.
