John Carmack Keynote at Oculus Connect 5 (2018)

Carmack's talks can be very long, but if you can find an evening to sit in front of YouTube, settle in to the couch, you'll be startled by just how smart this guy is. Deep, in depth discussion on highly technical topics for a long period of time with barely a word mis-said.

Anyone interested in programming should watch at least one long Carmack talk.

Also he packs a lot of information in his talks. Some keynote speakers can talk for hours reiterating the same stuff. With Carmack, you travel the tech landscape at a very fast pace, time flies.

I loved watching Carmack doing talks at Id events.

I fully admit about 99% of what he said went completely over my head. But he's such a passionate programmer that he's spellbinding in his own right

John Carmack is a goddamn national treasure.

I love how refreshingly honest his keynotes are.

One of the greatest programmers of the modern age.

He's the type of genius that could have done anything in the field he set his mind to.

I'm really glad it was video games and not ad tech.
