... and a fully working SDR implementation of the LTE phone standard.
The dude can wrap his head around literally anything. Him and Torvalds are truly exceptionally capable people.

The things he built are:
ffmpeg, which basically implements a bunch of specs for codecs
Qemu, which basically implement a bunch of specs for CPUs
TinyC / QuickJS, which basically implement a bunch of specs, mainly those for C and JS.
That LTE thing, which, surprise surprise, implements a bunch of specs.
He seems to be a God of turning specs into working code, not necessarily a GOd of programming in general.
This kind of mental flexibility is what I really admire.
Don't get me wrong, I find him to be an elite dev, but more for the incredible ability to hold a spec in his head in sufficient detail - and do that multiple times.
