How do you measure "bestness" exactly? Is it measured in the number of daily GitHub/BitBucket/whatever commits or in the number of stackoverflow answers? Or is it measured in the overall impact on the world (which is hard to quantify by itself, btw)?

Define "the best", and it won't take much time to figure out who it is.

P.S. Personally, my choice would be Paul Graham (measured by the number of his essays I read and liked).
