> Even John Carmack - an ultimate prototype for a nerd - has evolved into a CTO

I didn't get the impression that he's your typical CTO and completely hands off with code and development. If anything, it sounded like he's still very much in the trenches but has learned how to delegate work well and pick which problems are worth the time investment.

When it came to his work on Oculus and the work he's about to do in the field of AGI it sounded like he'll definitely be making direct contributions. It's entirely possible that I misunderstood his stance throughout the interview though and he's a more hands off guy now.
