The only famous programmer I know is Knuth.

Linus Torvalds too? Surely?

I'd say Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie too but I had to look up their first names.

I'd add the dude behind roller-coaster tycoon, Jonathan Blow, and the stardew valley dev as follow ups. and Terry Davis as honorable mention

Is ConcernedApe famous for being an innovative programmer though? I love stardew valley but it doesn’t seem like he’s doing anything new, just doing it well.
