The Utopian UI Architect
I think Bret Victor is a living genius. So much of what is designed today implicitly accepts the layers of nonsense imposed on us as "the way to do things", convinced that nothing better is possible. It is somehow hard to see when you are the person who prefers a horse cart to a car, accusing Model T of being impractical, if it was so great why is everyone using carriages etc. claiming it's a "well debugged and understood system". He is attempting a rethink of the entire field starting from first principles, asking at every decision point if we needlessly separate modalities. He is one of the few people that gets me excited about computing and its future.
