Does he have 444 controllers hooked up well? Not really that useful if not.

Windows 3.1 doesn't even come with a TCP/IP stack. It's actually pretty safe.

I guess it was early? I was released before most classics in the genre.

I remember watching Totoro as a child not knowing it was an anime. Later I watched The Guyver (1989 OVA) on VHS at my cousin's. Evangelion and Lodoss War were the first fansubs I watched knowing they were Japanese.

Yes, you should have backups. You can use something like KeePass to store them I suppose. I personally just use the file system on a secure server.

Search Engine is a great podcast and that was a great interview. For me it didn't really answer the question though, but I guess the answer is very individual.

Likely a lot of time was spent iterating and experimenting with different ideas, testing out concepts, tweaking, etc. Haven't played the game but I do work as a software developer.

Carmack actually developed Doom on NeXTSTEP, not Linux. The windows and DOS ports were not released as open source, due to copyright issues concerning the sound library. So they released the source of the Linux port instead. I don't think it made much of a difference in practice since it was a fairly popular game even before that.
