demigod
n.
A hacker with years of experience, a world-wide reputation, and a major
role in the development of at least one design, tool, or game used by or
known to more than half of the hacker community. To qualify as a genuine
demigod, the person must recognizably identify with the hacker community
and have helped shape it. Major demigods include Ken Thompson and Dennis
Ritchie (co-inventors of Unix and C), Richard M. Stallman (inventor of
EMACS), Larry Wall (inventor of Perl), Linus Torvalds (inventor of
Linux), and most recently James Gosling (inventor of Java, NeWS, and
GOSMACS) and Guido van Rossum (inventor of Python). In their hearts of
hearts, most hackers dream of someday becoming demigods themselves, and
more than one major software project has been driven to completion by the
author's veiled hopes of apotheosis. See also net.god, true-hacker,
ubergeek. Since 1995 or so this term has been gradually displaced by
ubergeek.
