Probably Dennis Ritchie.

Steve Jobs.

Probably that black and white cartoon guy clutching his degree from the meme. I mean, most of what he writes isn't the best, but he has written code to do just about any task by now.

Turing and Church, since they invented modern programming.

DJ Bernstein is a recent example of a good programmer since still to this day many of his programs haven't had any bugs whatsoever, like his crypto libraries

>>60176245
lol what a stupid question, it's Steve Jobs no doubt.

Dijkstra won more cs cred than programming. He spent his life teaching you should know what your program will do before you write it, holding back the agile shit wave. Reading his papers is wild

False. John Von Neumann invented modern computing as we know it. He was also several leagues above Turing in intellect. He may have been the smarted human being conceived, although he's not as well known as his physicist contemporary Albert Einstein...

Based on how you define the term programmer, I'd have to say Dennis Ritchie... He certainly has an enormous impact as a programmer that permeated every facet of the job.
