Bet you can't code anything more impressive than a teenager did in 1993.

>tfw no one on Sup Forums will know who that is

>silverman
He's a guy who wrote Duke Nukem 3D engine? Ken Silverman ?

>look i posted it again!!

Yes. To be more precise, he wrote the Build Engine, which was used in Duke3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior, and several other games in the 90s.

>you will never live the 90s again

Never said I could kiddo.

I don't even know how to code.

>mfw Ken Silverman is posting this to gloat

Who's the model pinned up in the background?

>Silverman started work on the Build engine sometime before his first semester at Brown University in 1993, under a contract with Apogee Software
>born November 1, 1973, so he would've been 17 before fall semester 1993

Frankly I'm more impressed that a 17-year old got a technical job at all than that he was good at it.

Toxic, toxic culture. This is toxic. More Diversity was always needed. This is toxic. This is a brotopia. Girls game. This is toxic.

Toxic.

There's probably some 6 year old out there that can do college level Calculus. Outliers will be outliers.

you're the outlier lol he's famous

I so sorely want to believe this isn't a shitpost and a genuine stream of consciousness courtesy of a deranged legbeard.

I miss the 90's too. What the fuck I'm doing with my life.

gtfo of here bitch


p.s. ty for leading me on the search to find this gem of a gif

>i don't know what outliers are

He's a pretty humble guy.

Programmers started out in the field much younger back then. John Carmack started working for Softdisk when he was 19 and subsequently founded id Software at 20.

Not tech but my mom tells me when she was in high school (late 70's-early 80's) some of the bus drivers were other students, and that when she finished her end-of-year exams she wouldn't go home until she found a summer job. Employment barriers seem like they've jutted up all around since then.

do you know what the word outlier means? ugh

Those games were ok but none of them were Commander Keen great.

The hiring process almost everywhere is a much more heavyweight process now due to lawyers getting their fingers into everything.
One of my classmates in high school would sometimes substitute drive the school bus. He was from a really poor family so I think the school gave him a job in exchange for school supplies and fees. It was kind of odd to have someone my age driving the bus but I'm sure he liked it better than the poor kids who worked in the cafeteria washing dishes.

Dated as fuck
