Wow he sounds really different from his usual videos, fully cognisant, self-aware and confident. This could be Terry Davis from a parallel universe where he ended up as an influential programmer like John Carmack et al.

[brucetungsten]

Loud Java people in the background interpreting their environment.

[manta]

Those folks in that McD have zero clue about that genius explaining compiler optimizations on the other table

[exoZelia]

Something about Terry is he was always known to be completely lucid when talking about tech. You can find interviewers from all sorts of sites saying that. Some people here are like "he must've took his meds" and idk maybe, but tech always helped him communicate clearly and just like any other tech person. It was when the topics changed his mind would go in other directions.

RIP to a man the world failed to care for, and would've been better for giving him the care and housing he needed.

Bro who edited in those chimp howls? That's brutal 💀

[ArcangelZero]

1:40 Just seeing him smile like that was....nice, man.

[gmodrules]

Imagine working at McDonalds. This greying homeless dude comes by, he's been there plenty of times before. This time, he shows up with 3 other guys, and starts talking with them, in detail, about computer architecture and compiler programming.

[adammontgomery]

Man, if he were just a little more sane/lucid, he would have been one hell of a teacher.

[indifferentone]

I see Terry vid, I press like button.
The pressed like button under any Terry vid repels glowing entities from you. Always press it.

[quazar-omega]

I can't believe we failed this man

[dylancook]

“Thank you sir, compiler experience isn’t necessary to work here but we appreciate your enthusiasm.”

[sorrymommy]

Schizophrenia is so terrifying. This man would go from so lucid and articulate to just outright unhinged within the same day. He really needed help, and had he, he might have made some very impressive software.

[connoro]

This is one of the most coherent videos ive seen of him. I wonder if he took his meds for this interview

[powderedwater]

I thought this was an actual interview to work at McDonalds lmao

[sanctumaudioproductions]

One of my favoorite interviews of all time

[danii]

Terry talking about computers and compilers is more articulate than I am!

[lukahanzek]

Imagine a universe where he is making youtube videos about programming.
I'd watch and learn so much from him. He could've brought so much originality into this field. He seems like he had authentic ideas and thoughts.

[games]

Seems like coding was Terry's outlet for clarity and sanity

[matthias]

Man, i wish there was more terry davis content

[coffeehousephilosopher]

This is the guy HR ignores because he doesn't tick all the boxes.
