demigod
     
         A hacker with years of experience, a national
        reputation, and a major role in the development of at least
        one design, tool, or game used by or known to more than half
        of the hacker community.  To qualify as a genuine demigod, the
        person must recognisably identify with the hacker community
        and have helped shape it.  Major demigods include {Ken
        Thompson} and {Dennis Ritchie} (co-inventors of {Unix} and
        {C}) and {Richard Stallman} (inventor of {Emacs}).  In their
        hearts of hearts, most hackers dream of someday becoming
        demigods themselves, and more than one major software project
        has been driven to completion by the author's veiled hopes of
        apotheosis.
     
        See also {net.god}, {true-hacker}.
