Before Valve and Gabe-mania my first dev crush was John Carmack. His postings and .plan files where were not only shockingly open and honest, but, I guess, genuine... it was apparent that here was a very successful man that was like me...an unrepentant nerd and geek! It is nice to know that that attribute of the company in general has not changed.

Every once in a great while I will get the feeling that I am the most productive coder on the planet. Then I remember Carmack's .plan files and am humbled.

Where can I read some of those plans?

Edit: Actually, they were easier to find than I thought:

This just gave me the motivation to write my own dev logs every day. Thanks!!

You might like to check out my Labradoc site which is designed to make it easier to create project/dev logs: http://labradoc.com/

Here's an example of a project log for a current project I'm working on: http://www.labradoc.com/i/follower/p/notes-qualcomm-apq8060-...

My style is more verbose than Carmack's but Labradoc can be used with either approach.
