People that nobody knows yet.

"Crazy" folks with ideas for how they might do a new thing, every time they ask someone about it they get a long spiel about how that impossible, or "why would everyone want that anyway?"

Quiet folks whose ideas are so "stupid" they don't even bother attempting to talk about them anymore. They know all they'll hear is "Of course all inverse indexes need stop words" or "how in Gods name is centrifuging a 3d printer while operating going to improve anything?"

People working on incredible things that you don't know and will probably hear about in some years
Off the top of my head:

TodePond

100 Rabbits

Richard Feldman

Evan Czaplicki

Bret Victor
