Funny how it probably differs per ~5 years who is the most famous BDFL. I'd have gone for Linus Torvalds as the most famous, or maybe Guido van Rossum.

This self-labeling definitely adds to a… picture I have of the guy, from other practices (like extensive personality testing of job applicants, unusual questions about background)
