In my opinion:
1 - Mark zuckerberg
2 - Notch
3 - Linus Torvalds
Mark: because he's forsure the most known developer for making facebook.
Notch: because he made the most popular game "minecraft" and he put himself in the game so everybody should know who he is.
Linus: actually i didn't know who to put in this case but linus came to my mind since he made Linux, i wanted to add Dennis Ritchie too but i don't think he's as much popular as those guys and i feel so bad for him, he died like 6 days after Steve Jobs died so not much people even noticed his death but we're not gonna talk about this now since it's just a top 3 discussion :'(
Currently developing futuristic smart-device, IoT connected, highway construction site safety system in EU.
Used to work on infrastructure, application architecture and cloud engineering.
One interesting anecdote I recall is hearing that Zuck himself was writing code for Facebook's first attempt at a Snapchat clone (I think it was called Poke).
I don't think his job typically involves any code, but sometimes duty calls.
I also get the idea from other little things I've heard him say that he probably continues to write code for personal hobby projects and messing around with stuff like the Oculous developer platform as they try to get into VR and other areas.

I think you missed this!
And If I still omitt this, how can you forget, Dennis Ritchie ?
I would put him in my top for sure.
I, uh, didn't know Mark Zuckerberg was a developer.
Then how did he make facebook...
Writing application like this:
can be taught right after you handle "Hello world" :D

Didn't know Notch. Thanks!
