An impressive example of the senior developer route is David Maynard of Box.com:
"Sometimes I have to leave a company when I get promoted to the stage when I can’t code anymore"

- marktangotango 13y agoCool, he cites Kelly Johnson as one of the two 'visionary's' he's worked with other than Englebert. Johnson is known in aerospace as the guy at Lockheed behind the SR-71 Blackbird.
- Recoil42 13y agoHe's somewhat more important than just the SR-71. He's the father of the entire Skunk Works project, and is also responsible for the P-38, U-2, and F-104, and had hands in at least another dozen important aircraft... and bundling them all up.. Area 51. So yeah, he's one of the most important figures in aerospace of the last century. Billing him as 'merely' the guy behind the SR-71 is actually selling him short.
- dsmaynard 13y agoI agree 100% about Kelly Johnson. People who think of Doug Engelbart as only "The Inventor of the Mouse" sell him extremely short also. Google "The Mother of All Demos" and be amazed about how much he demonstrated and how much more he envisioned in 1969.
