Taylor Otwell lol.. He has some pretty dope cars in his garage and is doing well.

I follow him on GitHub, and pay for some of his products. I have been heavily influenced by his coding styles, and the tools he uses. His code just looks so tight and perfect. He writes his stuff so open ended and reusable that he basically writes a method once, and then reuses it across numerous projects.

Look at this tight code: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/10.x/src/Illuminat...

I’d say that Adam Wathan is rapidly growing his influence as well, and is probably doing alright too.




The multiple-line comment styling is so pleasingly pathological — each descending line has a few characters less than the last.
