Re:The power of role models on Sunday February 26, 2017 @04:49AM (#13736490)
Some role models I had (although in some ways some could be considered bad role models): geohot, Samy Kamkar, Aaron Swartz, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates.

When I was younger (before I was into computers) my role models were Albert Einstein, Harry Houdini, and the Wright brothers. This list was very easy to remember, because I did reports on all of them as assignments in elementary school. That basically forced me to pick role models. They're all STEM related except maybe Houdini, but he invented a lot of mechanisms for his tricks.
