I've stumbled upon Terry Davis months ago. I can say that he's a very interesting guy and a very talented one, only to be ruined by his schizophrenia :((

Any thoughts about him?

    Dude was a genius, very racist but a genius. Idk if he would've been as famous as he was if he didn't have schizophrenia though, it might have been the reason he got as much attention as he did.

    I admire the dude greatly. To build a compiler is one thing. To make your compiler WORK enough for you to create your own operating system is another. Dude was most definitely 100% a genius and I am fairly certain that his distorted view on race and religion was in great part due to the nature of his mental disease.

    Lets go further, the dude did not only had an operating system, file system, io systems in place, file handlers and compiler set up to build his OS.....he even coded graphical games on it. All within the same OS space, everything was executed in such an interested twisted space it really should be a study matter if it weren't because American universities would not have someone saying the n word so much in some of his videos. The man created so much good shit on his own, a team would have corrected his mistakes and built his system in a good way.

    But he was in fact crazy, again, his illness. But if he were good no doubt, a true genius in Comp Sci.

    I haven't seen any other Mexican Americans here, definitely not the only Mexican. I am not Mexican; just grew up in the lower valley in El Paso.
