Programming Heroes

I am not sure what my full list of programmer heroes would be, but somewhere on there would definitely be Ward Cunningham, for his contributions to the pattern community and, of course, creating the idea of the wiki. he works for microsoft now, and they have some videos of an interview with him, including one where he describes how he came up with the idea of the wiki. Neat. Still seems strange to me that he works for microsoft, though. Oh well. What was the Harry Shearer line? "Yep, I work for Bill Gates, and someday so will you!"
