Top Programmers in the World

Great things can be achieved by following the paths of great people. This applies to programming as well. If you want to grow as a programmer, then you should always follow someone as a mentor. This mentor can be someone from your company, friend or an online personality.

When you follow someone, you learn a lot from their experiences, researches, and mistakes. I personally think that life is too short to learn everything from your own mistakes.

Irrespective of what technologies do you use, which platform do you work on or which industry you cater, here is a list of top 5 programmers that you should follow in order to grow more as a programmer.

Jeff Atwood

Jeff Atwood runs programming blog named Coding Horror and is the guy who built StackOverflow. He mostly writes about programming from a human's point of view. He doesn't dig into core programming in his blog posts.

Srinivas Tamada

Srinivas is an Indian blogger who writes tutorials and how to guides for different technologies on his blog 9Lessons. The best part of his blogging style is he picks up a new technology and writes a simple article about creating a simple application using the technolgies.

Addy Osmani

Addy is an Engineering Manager at Google primarily working on Chrome. He is quite active on Medium and also has a personal blog where he writes about latest Chrome developments and JavaScript tips for better development.
