Collage Of Influence
In a stream of (un)consciousness, I whipped together a collage of people who have greatly influenced my thinking over the years. The criteria for inclusion were: 1) they had to be alive today (with one exception), 2) no one in the entertainment or sports industries, 3) no politicians (that was easy), and 4) I’ve never met them face to face.
How many of my influencers do you recognize? What would your collage of influence look like?

Booch, Sutter, Stroustroup, that’s all I recognize. My collage of influence would just be a big ‘ol picture of you, Anythony!

Ditto to Mark’s comment.-fishmeister isn’t so easily coerced.
btw, noticed there’s no mechanical sea creature pix. π¦

Crushed culture. D’oh!
I love how the author “was once a former serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and Buddhist monk.”
Oops, and Scott Meyers.
The other software-oriented dudes are: Fred Brooks, Gerry Wienberg, Steve McConnell, Ron Jeffries, Tom DeMarco, and Steve Vinoski.
I would include Uncle Bob Martin in a collage.
