For a definition of "nobody" that includes Eric S Raymond, one of the most prominent figures in the linux world who's article (https://www.catb.org/esr/time-programming/index.html) I reference multiple times.
Basically he's best known for:
* Jargon file
* Parading himself around as "Mr open source" in the late 90s
* Working on what by all accounts was a not very good mail client a long time ago
That's the "good" side that's supposed to give him credibility as an expert, and it's not very much. The negative stuff is pretty bad.
Doesn't he work for Microsoft?
It is hosted by Microsoft and talks about implementation details of Windows. So I always assumed, that he works there.</del>
My bad, that's Raymond Chen.
