ESR wrote the Art of Unix Programming and the Cathedral and the Bazaar. Both definitely influential, so props where it is due. Any org needs both dev and sales people to function, and ESR was a really good sales guy who was a pretty good dev too (not Linus or RMS, but still way better than most). Good sales guys are particularly rare in open source.
