Linus Torvalds announces Linux (1991)
people give Jobs and Gates a lot of credit because they focused on commercial products that were marketed to the public -- Linus, for me, is probably the single most important person to technology (software) in the last 35 years.  With Linux and Git alone, it as impactful and game changing in this industry that I can think of. I cannot think of any person that&#x27;s been this important to my career and my income.
