(Good ones, of course).
Some fellow asked a few questions of a bunch of well respected and successful programmers, including Linus Torvalds (The Linux guy, obviously), Bjarne Stroustrup (the C++ guy) and many others others...

Unfortunately, many of them saw it fit to give short and pitiful answers and served no purpose whatsoever. Linus and Steve Yegge managed to give good answers all the way through, though.
I was particularly interested in the general consensus regarding how programmers need to have good communication skills, and by Torvalds referring to "good taste" as a necessary thing.
There are links to some pretty cool software, such as Dojo, as well.
