MegaDeadLink :

the best comparison i can make for anyone trying to comprehend his feats is that he basically used a bobby pin to paint the sistine chapel from memory

nev :

genius really isn't far from madness

101010101010101010101 :

I hope you guys understand that he is the only man to ever create is own compiler

Data :

Imagine you not only code an entire OS from scratch, but you do it in a programming language you made.

/home/dylan :

“The smartest programmer to ever live” completely agree. “I was chosen by god to build his temple” completely disagree

Cosmo_Hill :

he genuinely wrote an annoyingly functional OS. it worked too

Agendolabfsaid :

He really wasn’t lying about anything

john john :

TERRY DAVIS WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN HIS OWN OS... WITH HIS OWN LANGUAGE

Monirmonirmonirmonir :

from SCRATCH! FROM SCRATCH! TERRY DAVIS IS THE GOAT

Ignaus :

No, Terry, I don’t know what a compiler is🥹✌️

Seanwannabe :

I just went down an insane rabbit hole and this dude basically rendered 3d animations on a computer with paper😭 not actually, but he did it from scratch. Legit nothingness besides his computer 💔

logan :

That old saying "every time a person dies, a library burns." you can really feel that here. RIP Terry, you really were in your own league.

Shnand :

Terry Davis was actually insanely talented and it cuts me up that his work isn’t more widely recognised

Mitio :

King terry the terrible

local man yelling at cloud :

the man built the entire infrastructure for an OS, made 3D real time rendering games, etc. genius and madness are only ever one event away from each other.

C :

my coworker losing his damn mind 😭

brbzby :

Somebody’s gotta make a movie about him

Brisenburg :

The crazy thing is he just speaking facts

Crescendoll :

Terry made an OS using his own coding language. He IS the smartest programmer that’s ever lived

🍂🎸🐈‍⬛️Drtcake!🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈 :

While Terry was a very smart person, he also had some very racist and incorrect beliefs 😭 Let's not idolize him

alvinahnsberg :

All people hating on him should get a life. Rip Terry Davis, the smartest programmer that ever lived

MosQitoN :

Terry Davis might be one of the most interesting people oat
