Who is Kevin Smith? Where did you start programming?

The computers popped up in every classroom and the library but the teachers never really did anything with them. [...]
Who is Dave Fayram? I’m a long time programming hobbyist who just happens to get paid for his work. Unlike some developers that are in it for the challenge of building big systems, I’m in it for the challenge of learning new things. In particular, I’m a total language nerd. Actually, I’m a total nerd [...]
Who is Tony Arcieri? Who am I? There’s not really one distinct subculture I fit into. I’m something of a goth hippie nerd. While musically I tend to be the exact opposite of a hipster, getting into bands long after they’re popular. But technologically I’m a total hipster, always looking for the latest trends and [...]

Who is Alex Popescu? I am a software engineer/architect/code hacker and co-founder of InfoQ. I’m also running the myNoSQL blog which is focusing on all things NoSQL.
Who is Sergio Bossa? I’m a software developer, sometimes hands-on architect too, with a true passion for clean, elegant and efficient code and architectures, who likes being constantly challenged, learn new things and share them with peers. That’s probably the reason that I love open source (and open communities) so much: open source is the [...]
Who is Debasish Ghosh? I am the CTO of Anshinsoft Corp, though I would like to call myself a technology evangelist, a hacker and a programmer at heart. I love programming and, if it were a socially acceptable norm, I would like to do only that and nothing else in my day job. I have [...]
