Who the hell is the Jim Keller of software? I don't think Dave Cutler is the right comparison, although they're both pretty fucking awesome.


Jeff Dean?

If there will be a JK for software, I'd say if he lands in a typical dotcom, half of the dev team with careers typical to Facebook/Amazon/Google will be relieved of their duties in a week.


They'd never hire him. Too old.
