> He's like the Bobby Fisher of programming

W H A T!? How is _why in any way the Bobby Fisher of programming? Bobby Fischer was a famous, amazing chess player. _why is a person that writes code and some people (some Ruby developers, rather) look up to. They're not comparable in any way.

Bobby Fischer was famous, among chess players. _why was famous, among rubyists.

The only difference is they didn't make a movie about _why.
