No disrespect to Linus Torvalds, but this guy is the greatest geek alive 🫡
Created UNIX in 1971 when he was 28 years old.
Created Go in 2009 when he was 66 years old.
He also developed the B programming language (which led to C), created UTF-8 encoding (making international text possible online), and designed essential tools like grep that developers still rely on daily.
He also helped with the development of Multics (that led to UNIX), Plan 9 from Bell Labs and Inferno operating systems.
That's 4 operating systems in total... Most people don't even use these many OS.
Pretty impressive resume, right?
And it's a shame that many people, even the ones in the IT and tech industry, don't know him.
Ken Thompson.... Remember the name 🙏
