A mix of Knuth, Swartz and Torvalds. I would like to have Knuth's discipline, Swartz kindness and sense of importance of the job, and Torvalds confidence.

Either Elon Musk or Moot. I'm fine with both.
I said "Richard Stallman" in front of 40 people once.
The mere sound of his name and the confident manner I said it said everything.
I didn't have to explain who he is, and I walked off the stage like a fucking baller.

Notch.
Make a game, be lazy and use Java / fixed-function GL, then get billions of dollars.
>>53673512
JWZ. Because he had enough common sense to get out of the fucking scam that is the tech industry of today.
That, and he could probably code circles around half the people listed.

Wozniak.
The guy was a revolutionary that took true pride in his work.
