Dave Taylor, whom the article calls the "spackle coder" is a really brilliant and interesting guy. He was my roommate for awhile and I heard some fascinating stories (he did the sound engine for Quake which involved a lot of time spent with Trent Reznor). My favorite was when I asked him what kinds of (presumably brutal) music everyone was listening to during the creation of Doom. The most commonly listened-to artist: Sarah McLachlan.
