Man you should write a book. Or many, I'm sure you could fill them with all the details about your game development over the years. That would be a nice complement to Abrash Black Bible.

If you dig this stuff then Real-Time Collision Detection[1] is solid gold. It's basically data structures for 3D along with a practical appreciate of what makes real world algorithms fast(data layout).

That's the second time I see this suggested, time to try. Still doesn't absolve Dev Baggett to bless us with his stories ;)

Andy Gavin wrote several extended articles on the making of the original Crash Bandicoot. IIRC correctly, Dave contributed to a few of the articles,, or at least his contributions are mentioned pretty heavily.

I remember these; but I don't remember them including what Dave Baggett just said, hence my delighted surprise and suggestion above.

That is one expensive book! It's discounted on Google Play and still 75 euro
