Most people know Steve Jobs. Very few know Dennis Ritchie. But here’s the reality… If you’ve ever written a line of code, there’s a good chance you were building on top of his work. He created C in the 1970s — no internet, no Stack Overflow, no AI. Just a terminal, a problem, and a mind that shaped modern computing. Today, his influence runs everywhere: operating systems, smartphones, even space systems. And when he passed away in 2011… it barely made headlines. No hype. No spotlight. Just impact. That’s the kind of legacy most people never see. — What do you think 👇 Do developers and engineers get the recognition they deserve? — #programming #softwareengineering #codinglife #techhistory #developers
