The most badass dev you've met in real life? For me, it was meeting Joel Spolsky, founder of Stack Overflow and Trello!

Nice! I love his blogs.

Where? How? Me envying much

I took the photo O:-)
That's why you can't see me there

I have only met ones that think they are badass.

I invited him for a talk to my college BITS Goa this February. He's a very humble, witty and knowledgeable person! @Joserc87

All hail Stackoverflow, savior of programmers, all-knowing god of code!

You just invited and he just came all the way to India?

Took a lot of work and time but he was kind enough to come. It was for out tech fest, Quark ! Even gifted me a stack overflow t shirt and stickers! @Arjun

Wow thats really cool!!

He's a speaker at the conference I'm attending today. Super excited! 😳

It will be amazing! Enjoy! @arrayslayer @hawkes

Wow so lucky u ^_^....so he came at bits pilani?

Yeah, Goa campus! @minigeek

@arrayslayer Please tell me you did ask him, how did he manage to build stackoverflow without having stack overflow to refer from! 😋

I've met Jon Skeet, #1 on Stack Overflow, for lunch once.

But the most bad ass was meeting Gerald Jay Sussman and Julie Sussman, writers of SICP. After I was done fanboying, they regaled me with stories of high the Internet begun.
