TERRY DAVIS ▀ THE MOST UNDERRATED COMPUTER PROGRAMMER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD

UPDATED ON: 2024-12-13

[Terry Davis] was an exceptional programmer who created his own programming language,
dedicated compiler, boot loader, operating system kernel [TempleOS] written in language he created,
various graphical libraries without relying on external dependencies and borrowing.

He can be considered as the father of 3D printing and designed a three-axis milling machine,
but due to increasing schizophrenic incidents the project was abandoned.

Toward the end of his life, he became difficult to understand, but was reported to be “always lucid”
when the topic of discussion involved computers or other technical matters.
Society considered him to be mentally ill schizophrenic.
Was hit by a train in 2018. It was obviously a suicide.

According to him, God told him to create operating system in 640x480 resolution in 16 colors.
Estimated IQ was around 150. Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein had 160, just for comparison.

Terry is a prime example of how “humanity” doesn’t care about an extremely talented man when a person has issues.

Some heap of videos about him and his life.
