To be fair I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s fair to compare yourself to him in terms of being burned out. I&#x27;m sure he&#x27;s wealthy and famous enough to get to work on whatever he wants to, whereas most people have to work for a living. I imagine if you got to program anything you wanted and only when you wanted, you wouldn&#x27;t feel as burned out either.<p>Carmack is definitely awesome, but I really don&#x27;t think his awesomeness is what stops him from getting burned out, and more importantly I seriously doubt your getting burned out implies your lack of awesomeness.
