3 hours and nobody Linus Torvalds? I must be getting old...

If you wanted to follow him, how would you do it? He doesn't exactly have a blog, or other channels aimed at a wide audience

Subscribe to LKML, he posts regularly :)

Jokes aside, your can follow him on Google+

Ned Batchelder. Blog - http://nedbatchelder.com/ Stack Overflow answers - http://stackoverflow.com/users/14343/ned-batchelder Coverage.py - https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy Twitter - https://twitter.com/nedbat

Ned created coverage.py and is one of the most famous Python devs. He explains Python concepts in a very lucid, easy-to-understand way. Going through his stack overflow answers, his tallks in PyCon are worth doing it.

Yes, this is an incident I still regret deeply. I probably think about it once a week. It's one of the reasons that I'm a bit different these days than I am back then; I didn't want this to happen ever again.

As far as I can tell you're just highly emotional.

Please comment civilly and substantively on Hacker News—no personal attacks like this.

Some interesting mentions here. I tend to follow mostly people who talk about statically-typed functional programming. Some people who I believe stand out because they changed the game in some way:

* Dan Grossman for his amazing, succinct explanations of static typing and functional programming concepts in Standard ML

* Philip Wadler for his work on Haskell

* Miles Sabin for freeing Scala developers from fixed arities with shapeless

* Jordan Walke for React (put immutable and reactive programming in every JS dev's hands) and Reason (bringing OCaml to JS devs)

* Erik Meijer for putting monads (LINQ) in C#

* Evan Czaplicki for bringing functional reactive programming to JavaScript devs.

Hola limedaring. You rock. Thanks for adding this specifically non-male list. A shame you're being downvoted.

See you at PyCon?
