It's actually really interesting to see the thought process and programming technique of a respected dev from start to finish of a project. I'm sure I'll learn a lot, more people should do this.

Going to keep it on the secondary monitor.

The iPad stream is surprisingly good. Very high quality, and makes for a great way to keep up with this while working on other things.

Please don't start taking programming tips from Mojang employees.

Explain why?

Because Minecraft is a very buggy, poorly designed product. Notch is only "respected" as a programmer by people who have never looked into his programming.

Well it's good enough to make him a very rich man. Oh and when did you get a chance to look at his code and designs?

So because someone is rich that makes them a good programmer? I have done some projects with the Minecraft SMP protocol (which is awful), and I write plugins for it. So yeah, I know a bit about its design.
