Who are your heroes?
-
Well, I guess I could make an exception for my parents. They did pretty well for themselves and they've continued to support me for 31 years and counting... If you can live with me for that long you're definitely a hero! :laugh: But no hero in the "traditional" sense, like someone amazing somewhere that I look up to and that I'd love to meet.

Excluding politics, sports and Albert Einstein, who are your biggest heroes? One of mine is the late, great Dr. Stephen Hawkings. Another, despite the fact that I don't actually care for iCrap products, is Steve Wozniak. Note: I would have said Winston Churchill but politicians are excluded.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
I'm surprised nobody has said Chris Maunder & co. As tongue in check as that sounds, my life as a software developer has been significantly, and in positive ways, influenced by the existence of Code Project. While that can be said of many people (99% of them are dead), there's something to be said about a hero that is relevant.

Everybody is like Tesla is the best, Einstein is the best! Nobody (I mean no laymen) ever invoke the name of Landau.. :(( Yet, when I studied physics, there was always a Landau theorem about whatever topic we were studying! :o

I wonder how different the world would be if people like Landau were thought of as celebrities?
