Came here to say Rich. I attribute a large percentage of my programming skill solely to his talks. Honorable mentions: - Nathan Stott (worked with me early in my career and taught me to love Javascript) - Michael Lopp (aka Rands in Repose) - Gary Bernhardt - José Valim - Joe Armstrong - Yehuda Katz - My dad (who taught me patience and the value of hard work) - Harvey Specter - Thomas Ptacek (whose consulting wisdom I cannot appreciate enough)
