On: Introducing Michael Abrash, Oculus Chief Scientist

[revelation]

I've checked Wikipedia to augment my knowledge of all things Michael Abrash, and came across this quote of Gabe Newell:

been trying to hire Michael Abrash forever. [...] About once a quarter we go for dinner and I say 'are you ready to work here yet?

So between Gabe and John, Michael could probably be dining for free every day of the week ;)

[eco → revelation]

Carmack also had to hound Abrash to come work for Id for over a year after finally meeting him in person (Carmack had long respected Abrash for his articles).
