DJB might be more of an privacy/infosec/Unix thing, so if you're a different type of programmer then fair enough.
He is famous in crypto (as in cryptography) circles for:
- Ed25519 for fast + safe asymmetric crypto
- chacha/poly for fast symmetric crypto
He is also famous in Unix circles for:
- qmail
- djbdns
- his init system daemontools
and a bunch of other bits.
He also fought the US government for your right to use encryption when encryption was considered a munition.

Jensen is NVIDIA. Left MSI, took on the #1 competitor in the space (3DFX) and dominated them, responsible for things like CUDA and DLSS, now supplies the hardware for most of high end gaming and ML, has a two year advantage over AMD, appeared in his kitchen for an announcement once then a few months later told everyone that the entire scene was done with high quality physics based rendering and nobody knew.
