People are awesome
While browsing through the internet, I found some really amazing people
-- some of the best programmers out there.
1. Alyssa Rosenzweig
She is a software freedom activitst. She works on reverse-engineering the Apple GPU
for porting Linux to Apple processors. That to me is really insane!
She is also an Asahi Linux developer. She has been doing this from very young age,
Truly remarkable!!
2. Christopher Domas
He is a cyber-security researcher. He caught my attention throught his talk on
Breaking the x86 Instruction Set .
His presentation was one of the best I've ever seen. He is extremely good at what he does.
TL;DW. He wrote a program that audits all hidden instructions in the processsor from
every major vendor. The entire talk was very insightful, I watched the complete video in
one go, it was both cool and mind-blowing.
Few more talks by him:
3. Justine Tunney
She is a former activist for Occupy Wall Street. She registered OccupyWallSt.org
domain which was the online hub of the movement.
She is now a software developer at Google. She started programming at the age of 13.
I find her projects on Github really cool.
Also, llamafile This was another awesome project, I stumbled upon.
People like them really inspire me to learn and dive deeper into computers.
They make me realize there's so much I don't know, and I think that's a good thing.
