I'd rather be in a room with Emma Watson, K Stew and that girl with the square jaw from the Diet Coke adverts.

No one cares, you pile of garbage....

I don't know much about her but does Corinne Yu have some other knowledge aside programming? Because otherwise she really wouldn't fit that much...

From wiki

Besides working as a game programmer, Yu programmed on the Space Shuttle program at Rockwell International California. She designed and conducted accelerator experiments at LINAC in California and the accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Her nuclear physics research won her a national award from the U.S. Department of Energy. In 2009, Corrinne Yu won Best in Engineering internationally at GDC (Game Developers Conference) WiG nominated and judged by a panel of her industry peers for the last 2 years in a row, for her work in programming.[13] In 2010, Yu was identified by Kotaku as one of the 10 most influential women in games in the last decade. She is the only director of technology, and the only engine programmer, on this list.

Well okay, somebody who was succesfull 20 years ago with ego-shooters.

Actually, I'll think you'll find they were Id shooters

Anyone at all interested in Carmack or id Software should give Masters of Doom a read too.

One of the smartest persons in the video games industry. Watch one of his talks or an interview with him where the interviewer lets him talk freely, like here.

edit: Here's his GDC talk, from two days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dIUBGf1RHU
