Thinking about how certain people get way too much credit for certain things. Tim did many important things but so did many other people who did just as much to make the world that we live in. I see so many mentions of Tim and very few of Ted Nelson and Bill Atkinson who I would argue are just as monumental of contributions to what we know as the web.

@tomjennings is someone who I could argue has had a foundational impact on the web in a similar fashion as Tim but is rarely mentioned in these sorts of places. But maybe this has more to do with what we view as "the web"
Another person who I am always surprised when people don't know of their work is Ward Cunningham (@k9ox), father of the wiki, and the other WWW, the WikiWikiWeb which was like an alternative take on the ideas that Ted Nelson originally published that Tim Berners-Lee riffed on.
