Wow, just look at this bullshit. I found the time-lapse entertaining and in some ways inspirational and yet, true to form, this thread is full of nothing but shit.
Are none of you impressed with Notch's work ethic? He barely stopped. He was bullshitting on Twitter all of one time. We saw his prototyping stages as well as his ad-hoc development tools. If you weren't at the very least mildly entertained by this, you're either a pedantic austist asshole or not a programmer.
