When John Carmack says something, you should probably listen. That goes double when he's talking about the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.For background, John Carmack is the co-creator of the popular Doom and Quake video game franchises. He's also well-known for being one of the greatest coding minds in the games industry and his resume also lists his work as lead programmer on Commander Keen and Wolfenstein 3D. That's a pretty good resume. Right now he's the CTO at Oculus VR.

Monday on Facebook, Carmack wrote a lengthy post on Jobs and their relationship. It's an incredible, insightful, often personal read that focuses on what he calls the "'hero/shithead' rollercoaster" of communicating with Jobs.
