I really love Robert C. Martin. Read Clean Code, and the Clean Coder. I enjoy the "ethics" and soft skills approach he takes.

Then, I'll say DHH (David Heinemeier Hansson), the creator of Ruby on Rails. I don't code in Ruby at all, but I also like his opinions on overworking, Silicon Valley etc... I love the way he promotes a more "humane" way of programming, instead of constantly hearing about imaginary unicorns and rockstars who work 12 hours a day.
