Imagine being on a math forum discussing Fermat’s theorem and the guy shows up.
This is such a cool aspect of CS being a young field: influent people are still alive!

It happens in math too! for example: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/81960/the-dzhanibekov-eff...
Andrew Wiles showing up would probably be the next best thing.
Russ also showed up. https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp4.html Just discovered it.
Fermat would probably get banned for too much trolling around the proof of his last theorem...
Can I show up for the future?
