Tell us a little story about him

You don't meet a lot of great programmers in your mom's basement.

Nobody said anything about great programmers. A programmer can be a bad programmer but still the greatest you've ever met.

I choose RMS. He provides me with everything I seek in a man.

Myself.

I'm not being egotistical. I know there are better programmers than me out there. I'm just the best I've ever met, that's all. Better than my classmates, coworkers, and professors, at least.

I met RMS before. He places a lot of emphasis on good communication.

I have to third this. I haven't personally met a better programmer than me (unless there's someone I know who keeps his programming a secret).

fourth'd... but I feel like a big reason for that is because I don't have a whole lot of experience in industry. Wish I could find a better developer than me to work/train under.

Milkribs. Not only can he write PHP script on demand he also writes games for the gameboy - something /prog/ has failed on many occasions.1

All I can say to that is "myself," since I wrote the Anusymous bot. While the code sucked, it worked well enough for its simple purpose.

I don't /prog/wars and /prog/fighter ever being more than jokes.
Velox et astrum was never a /prog/ project.

The free-thinking rebel that redefines the rules. He says what no-one else will say and does what no-one else will do. Fuelled by raw passion, he seizes an art form by the throat and drags it to its apex. What they invented, he makes it sing. His peers hate him but the public love his style. At once he intimidates and inspires; breaking down the walls that secure some yet block others. Welcome to MDickie.com - home of the games industry's first true 3-dimensional character! Whether he's the "hero" or the "villain" depends entirely on your perspective...

Programmers in my country are mostly PHP and Java-retards, with background in humanities. They code for food and don't really care about programming - it's just work for them. I can't call any of these people "great".
