No "disciple tiktok/linkedin engineer" for sure and no autist either.
Probably some regular bloke/lady working in corp writing code with impeccable taste for the art of programming.
John Carmack's "Doom" single-handedly made PC gaming cool.
Do you understand what it means to make a PC cool, to make people itch to own one, like it's a cocaine dispenser?
Microsoft noticed that more people had Doom on their machines than had Windows at the time. Years later, former MS guy Gabe Newel licenced a Carmack game engine and >> Half-life >> Valve >> Steam >> defacto custodians of PC gaming
hahaha dumb homosexual, 90's was great, people to this day still drive 90's Toyotas, Hondas and American Trucks, people still binge Seinfeld and other 90 pop culture stuff, music in all fields was better than anything today.
I have the same first name as him. I wear baja hoodies. I have a few acronym diagnoses. I'm also studying OS design. I swear it wasn't intentional. Fuck.
Your probably have to split by domain:
Graphics engines - Carmack and Sweeney
Large Scale - Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawatt
OS - Torvalds and some guys from Microsoft NT team
Generic systems - Fabrice Ballard
Systems and langs - Thompson, Pike, Cox, Peyton Jones, Hejlsberg

steve wozniak
wrong steve. you meant steve jobs.
Who?
steve jobs is dead, steve wozniak and bill gates top the lists now
yeah bill gates is the world's best programmer. Nigga touches more kids than keys in his keyboard you fucking retard. sage'd
bill gates apparently used to code two programs at the same time, youre fking stupid if you think he isnt a good
I can code 10 programs at the same time, that's a stupid metric.
whats ligma
what do you mean by "best"? as in what measure?
The person who has written the most programs.
Easy metric to defeat. You can write programs that write programs.
Some little-known genius slaving away on a megacorp's internal infrastructure, probably.
But Fabrice Bellard is up there.

Dr. Selig. Nobody else knows how to count or use nested for loops.
Best programmer? Easy.
LinusTechTips probably
Nobody knows. The top programmers aren't interested in finding out who's best because they're already quite busy enough.

Cutler was the NT team.
Cox because he has a funny name.
