I'd love to hear an opinion on someone like Ken Silverman or Tim Sweeney, as they were Carmacks contemporaries.

There's probably legendary but unknown programmers at place like EA or Sony.

I personally have a huge amount of respect for all 3 as engineers.

There are plenty of legendary gamedev engineers who are somewhat known, most of them hang out on Twitter (Carmack has a great Twitter account IMO)

I've only worked in the industry for a little over a year now, but I've heard some great stories from the senior engineers.
