> Certainly Carmack has the industry respect to be taken seriously. Why wasn’t he?

I wonder if his schedule played some part. He worked there for one day a week. I could see it being really difficult to understand his vision if you have to wait 7 days to ask a follow-up*, for example. And it's gotta be close to impossible to move the needle on existing culture if you're barely around.

* and while you wait there are plenty of other people around to ask instead



He only moved into the part-time role in the past few years. Before then he was the legit CTO of the company.
