There are many open-source software developers whose backgrounds we don't know much about, such as Russell King, who implemented the 32-bit ARM port of Linux. He used the magic number 0x016F2818 (24061976 in decimal) without explanation, which I guess is his birthday, but I can't verify it since he hasn't disclosed his birthday anywhere.

The benchmark numbers are interesting — would love to see how it performs with more realistic workloads.
