"He is a well known and regarded game designer, who moved to a new consulting role at Oculus in 2019"
Err, WAT? In the context of gamedev, game design is not what I'd say Carmack is known for. He's firmly in 'down in the weeds implementation detail and optimization' territory. How does one write anything about Carmack and get something so fundamentally wrong about who he is and what he's done professionally?
Game designer credit in this context (id software) generally goes to Romero, if anyone.

Edit: Just look at Carmack's wikipedia page FFS, he hasn't been credited for design since SOFTDISK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carmack#Games
