MELVIN CONWAY
'Melvin Conway' was an early hacker who coined what's now known as Conway's Law: "Organizations which design systems are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations."
Apart from the above, Conway is perhaps most famous for his seminal paper on coroutines.[1]
Conway wrote an assembler for the Burroughs 220 called SAVE. The name SAVE was not an acronym, but a feature: programmers lost fewer card decks because they all had SAVE written on them.
