I am sorry if it is a duplicate questions or is useless. I want to compile a list of influential people in our industry who can be termed as "opinionated" and thought leaders. There are basically two characteristics that I'm referring to here:
The person has introduced new concepts/terminology/trends or talked about existing ones in thought provoking way.
Majority or part of the writings are available online.
Some of the people who I think as thought leaders are as under:
Martin Fowler Known for domain specific languages, Active Record, IoC.
Joel Spolsky known for his 12 point Joel test, Law of Leaky abstractions.
Kent Beck known for XP.
Paul Graham.
Any other names and links?
