I agree that ESR and Martin are quite overrated, but why Kay? And why call out that you expect downvotes?

- adwn 4y agoThe "downvotes magnet" thing was tongue-in-cheek – any name is either not famous enough, making it a bad answer, or famous enough to have lots of fans that will disapprove of the nomination. > why Kay? I don't think his actual, lasting influences justify the near-mythical status bestowed on him by his disciples. Not saying he's completely unimportant, just that he's overrated. I'm not very confident on that assessment though, which is why I listed him last (and ESR first).
