All the other crap aside, I kind of envy him for getting into VR now. The recent news about Oculus, and reading "Masters Of Doom", have somehow given me a renewed excitement for the field again. What if those snow crash visions could become a reality after all? (Sans the sword fighting, I think it is not possible because of the speed of light?).
I'd be excited to work in that area, but I have no idea how to go about it in a sensible way. I mean how could I contribute as a single individual, without having a company on my hands?
Totally agree here. I have not seen any major innovations come out from github recently. It's a great product already and something phenomenal has to happen to make me take notice. In VR, I imagine the barriers to making an impression are lot lesser.
