My favorite famous dev/tech person + why?

Scott Hanselman.

He always takes the human approach to technology. Its easy to forget we're supposed to write software for people.

I feel like scott hansselman's last great contribution was his ultimate dev tool list. Haven't found his stuff too interesting after that

Check out his podcasts.

Couple in particular that made me go "Huh?" were his interviews with the actor who played Edgar Alan Poe in 'Altered Carbon' and the linguist who developed the Belter language for the TV show 'The Expanse'
