John CarmackThe programmer behind Doom, Quake, and Oculus/Meta Virtual reality products have been created resigned His executive consultant post For virtual reality at Meta.

We have a good product. It is successful, and successful products make the world a better place. It all could have happened a bit faster and been going better if different decisions had been made, but we built something pretty close to the right thing.”
He said the issue was the company’s efficiency.

Carmack said, “We have a ridiculous amount of people and resources, but we constantly self-sabotage and squander effort.

This was for him, he said. He has no voice. at At the highest levels, he felt like he should be able to make things move along. He claimed that he is satisfied with his work. “never been able to kill stupid things before they cause damage, or set a direction and have a team actually stick to it.” This he called self-inflicted because he didn’t move to Menlo Park. Meta It is where it is located. However, he stated that he was too busy with programming to lose leadership battles.
“Enough complaining,” He stated. “I wearied of the fight and have my own startup to run, but the fight is still winnable! VR can bring value to most of the people in the world, and no company is better positioned to do it than Meta. Maybe it actually is possible to get there by just plowing ahead with current practices, but there is plenty of room for improvement.”
