I like Val Head a lot – her excitement about web animation really comes across immediately, if you ever hear her speak in person. She's incredibly talented, and her passion is contagious.
I've really enjoyed the Developer Tea podcast by Jonathan Cutrell. His focus on the importance of soft skills has been a nice break from the usual dev media, and his episode on applying to speak at conferences is what motivated me to throw my hat in the ring (and get chosen) to speak at a major conference last year – so I'm quite grateful to him.
On a personal note, my uncle (who I won't embarrass by linking here) who has been a software dev since I've been born. He's always encouraged me and been happy to answer questions and share experiences. I love having development as something in common with him.
And, since nobody has said it yet, can't forget about Ada Lovelace – not just the first female programmer, but the first programmer full-stop. What a badass.
