Most memorable coworker? Definitely one of our devs in the first company I worked at. He was around fifty, quirky as fuck but damn knowledgeable about pretty much everything. Think some kind of uncle Iroh who could build his own compiler.
I haven't learned as much from university as I learned from our talks during smoking breaks. He never judged anyone for not knowing something (even really basic stuff) and was actually happy if he could help. Now, a few years later I still find myself applying techniques for conceptualizing software he explained to me on the balcony and I have to say I wouldn't be half the dev I am today if I'd have never met him so I guess that counts as memorable.

    Everyone needs an Uncle Iroh in their life.

    Good people like him are the reason the rest of the arseholes are tolerable.

    You must continue the cycle and become that guy to the younger devs!

    I had one colleague that basically used to program Delphi, but in Java :the-worst:
