Your fav programmer idol 😀

Question

Who is your favourite programmer that you look up to? You'll follow his tweet, read his blog and even more, you'll highly recommend him to others to know as well. 🙂

Answer 1

I have one in particular that I follow on Twitter; John Carmack. He created the first real 3d game, Quake and a bunch of others, and is a graphics programming wiz. I learn a lot from his tweets, which are sometimes rather funny. He's the head of Occulus now, a company that creates VR games.

Answer 2

Ada Lovelace, but I like Grace Hopper too :P
I can't flow them on Twiter, but I can read the biography :)

Answer 3

Uncle Bob (he doesn't need any introduction),
DHH (author of rails),
Jon Skeet (the guy who broke StackOverflow),
James Gosling (father of Ryan Gosling)
