Outside of specific industries such as video games, very few software development teams use the waterfall model these days. Viewed in that light, Carmack's comment is difficult to reconcile with standard practice. Much of the software in development today is never really finished, it's under constant revision.

I can definitely see the appeal of finishing a project before moving on to the next one, however.

I think the sentiment still holds, waterfall or no. There are still an identifiable cycle of product development in an agile shop, but they aren't explicitly mapped onto differentiated development phases. It is still possible to see the evolution of a product from inception to maturity, and that is a valuable experience.

The point is that if you leave too early you don't get to feel the weight of your earlier choices, therefore you don't really learn from your mistakes.
