Bill gates is the only remaining hacker one can look upto. Yes he was ruthless but also the amount of work he did for humanity was orders of magnitude more than others.

The current crop of rich folks are really the wrong uns and come from a deep history of bad families. Rotten blood really shows.

What is interesting to consider is if Dave Cutler had not been available or otherwise did not choose Microsoft in 1988.

Would Microsoft have adapted BSD NET/1 as Apple eventually did, instead of continuing OS/2?

What's interesting is that Cutler said in an interview that initially he talked to Gates but wasn't interested until Ballmer swayed him in.

One of my favorite past times is reading different Bill Gates biographies. They never get old. Right now actually just started reading the one he actually wrote recently. It's excellent so far.

Or Paul Allen in Accidental Zillionaire.

Assuming Bill gates is the only hacker you are aware of.

You can also just look up to normal people who are better than Bill Gates, even if they're not as rich as him.

Bill? The one from Halloween Documents? Richard Stallman among the reaining Scheme, Common Lisp, Lisp Machines, Forth and UXN hackers are the ONLY remaining ones.

Everything else has no clue what's babbling about.

"The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place."
