Ask HN: Who are your (programming) heros/heroines?
I am enamored with john carmack and cliff click. I watch all of videos and read all of their blogs. Who do you idolize as leaders in programming?

- jurgenwerk 9y agoI don't really like idolizing developers that much, especially calling them heros - because it puts a big mental divide between you and them, making you think you could never reach their level. I do however never miss a post from Tom Dale and Yehuda Katz (when they are not ranting about politics), and Patrick McKenzie (when he's not ranting about cryptocurrencies).
- Johnny_Brahms 9y agoMaybe not hero, but I thoroughly enjoy Andy Wingo's writings and talks. Every time I forget that programming is fun, I go to his blog. He really likes what he does and is a very inspiring individual, and does a lot to bridge the gap between academia and us regular folks.
