Another master programmer Linus Torvalds seems to have the opposite attitude though

Wonder if there's a difference in average attitude between people who do creative stuff (e.g. games) vs people who do infrastructure type stuff (e.g. Linux kernel)


Yes, but of the two, which one would you say is happier? Some people like doing it the hard way because they think a bit of suffering is good for you.


Furthermore, Carmack mentions that this aversion to debuggers stems from the Linux bias.


> Accent’s Way on YouTube > taught herself the American accent to a complete perfection

Her oldest video is 12 years ago and I couldn't personally tell if she's just talented at mimicking sound from a young age or if she transitioned from a thick accent to a natural American accent.

It's a poetic mission statement for an endeavor which seems to jive with Hotz’s recognition that such a school must be physical and beautiful. However, scratch away the veneer, Hotz suggests in a recent blog post, and one finds that those behind UATX “are either straight up supporters of Power or naive political children.” He points to Joe Lonsdale, Sam Altman, and Marc Andreessen, all of whom “are very successful in the current system.”

“This is not a counter-elite!” Hotz continues. “This is a spin off of the exact same BS that’s everywhere. NGO awards and fake status signaling markers.”
