  1. NASA and DoD not short an talent by AHumbleOpinion · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Is this a waste of a special and rare talent? Sadly, the answer is yes.

    No, there are many as talented and more talented people working for NASA and the DoD. Most of these people don't opt for video games and in other fields of programming you don't get "rockstar" press. You are merely looking at one of the bigger fish in a small pond.
