Maybe I just run in different circles but I was always under the impression that the so called Chuck Norris of programming was Jon Skeet, another rather "famous" google employee

To me, the Chuck Norris of programming has to be Fabrice Bellard

[billbrown]

He's the Chuck Norris of StackOverflow, maybe.

Yeah I thought exactly the same, but I guess Jon Skeet is from a different era altogether, we're moving into a world where many programmers perhaps have never even entered StackOverflow. I feel old.

Jon Skeet was very much a local hero on StackOverflow, and on StackOverflow only.
