All my /g/ heroes dropped out of college, /g/.
I'm having a really hard time continuing.
I don't want to be a code monkey I want to be JOHN CARMACK

first, train the smug smile of success and post on /g/
then we can tell you what to do
>>55344384
John Carmack is a code monkey
>>55344384
Yeah, pretty much what >>55344484 said. Read the book "Masters of Doom" and you'll learn that he basically lived on his computer and was so dedicated to his work & efficiency that he forgot how to be a normal person and pissed off all his friends.
So you better get to coding all day and night, and generally be a fucking genius.
