Very sad yet interesting read at the same time.

I totally feel for Deano. It's a terrible feeling to become disillusioned and burned out in a field that you absolutely loved in the beginning. I have experienced some of the same feelings in my field.
It's also somewhat telling that Deano's comments seem to echo some of the same messages that John Carmack was refering to about the industry in general and next gen consoles in particular.

Heh,
Some of that can be said for everyday jobs. When its good its good and when its bad you just want to walk away (vacation time). I think the people you work with plays an important part and although you can work with the best of people you still find yourself at wits end
Game Creation (especially if your one of the leads) becomes very personal. As we all know, not everyone can agree on everything. This is especially true with game creation and as we have seen when you combine movie creators, artists, and game creators there is often a clash of ideas and how they should look etc. (Just look at some of the movies that were created from games for example.) I believe this is where the original game idea should be kept in check (although still creative but on point), otherwise what was once a great game idea becomes chaos and spins out of control.

I wouldn't call the PPE as 2 processors because it has SMT. Also I don't think you can dual issue two threads for execution in a given cycle. It's still a single, independent processor core.
You could also break RSX down (assuming G7x) into 14 processors, i.e. 8 MIMD VS processors and 6 SIMD PS quads.
1 PPE + 7 SPUs + 8 VS + 6 Quads = 22 processors!
EDIT:
Deano has replied in his blog that 10 was just a rant!

That's not true. For every person who succeeds and tells others it's by perseverence, there are dozens of others who keep on trying and fail to get anywhere. Without a desire to succeed you won't try and won't win, but there are plenty of people who just got lucky with very little effort, while trying is no guarentee of success. You also need talent, and charisma counts for more than pretty much anything else, plus contacts are very useful (it ain't what you know, but who you know), all which count as luck as to whether you have them or not. I've a friend in software who wrote a simple Flash game a few years ago for fun and shared it with a few friends. He was contacted by an unknown company to use it on a high-scores-wins-prizes gaming site. He agreed expecting nothing really to come of it, and ended up making over a grand per month from it without having to do any work. That was nothing but luck.jpr27 said:
