Im kind of unsure as to how to interpret this, but there appears to be no particular ordering just an influential cs person posted for each day of the month.<p>Theres definitely pleanty of influencers missing from the current set, McCarthy, Hoare, Dijkstra, to name few. If this were my list, I wouldnt have Lovelace or Gates on it, but most of the others seem warrented enough (in my opinion of course) :)

To me, Bill Gates will always be what Steve Jobs is to so many.

Nice, bookmarked.<p>But please don&#x27;t redirect giantsofit.org to your current feature, it makes it tedious to correctly bookmark, and share, the site. Minor but unnecessary annoyance.

Here&#x27;s another list, probably very similar: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_pioneers_in_computer_science" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_pioneers_in_computer_s...</a>

&quot;classified&quot;? Why not just use the wikipedia pictures for these people?

This should probably be a Show HN.

It would be interesting if degrees of separation could be shown between all of these giants.

Good page! But Bill Gates did not develop BASIC or DOS.

How many more times am I going to have to read that Ada Lovelace was the first programmer? It is getting to be annoying.

Tim Berners Lee should be on your list on the first place!
