Personally, would also love to see more folks from the hardware side talk about both their past (tech origin stories) and future (why should everyone tap into their inner "maker" mentality) - ex: Limor Fried, Becky Stern, Sophi Kravitz (who I know and absolutely admire) have all inspired me with their creative projects.
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
How about Jason Miller, a.k.a. Mr. Preact now Googler, jasonformat.com? It would be fitting as well since I believe the dev.to team mentioned there is some "Preact"ness to dev.to now?

Haha thanks Lynne. Just sharing work I admire and would love to hear more from the creators behind them. Also to share your and the work of others with more people who might find that it is awesome sauce!
Aras Pranckevičius because I love his view on this tiny thread. I would have questions on developing an industry in a country that pretty much does not have it.

I'm Ibne Nahian, your web wizard! With expertise in WordPress, PHP, JavaScript, and more, I transform ideas into stunning websites and automate tasks. Let's make your digital dreams a reality!
I am a self taught developer that works best when floating in between design and engineering teams. I enjoy sharing what I know via short instructional screencasts and the occasional written post.
Fran (Frances) Allen. I would love to hear her perspective on where things are in computing today, and also where she believes they are going in the future. Would also be neat to hear about what it was like to receive the Turing award (including what it was like to be first woman to receive the award after it had been in existence for 40-ish yrs by the time she won).

Joel Spolsky or Jeff Atwood would be amazing. Sara Soueidan and Sarah Drasner are a couple of my favorite devs, I'd be jazzed about them as well.

Here's my suggestion
dev.to/yvette
dev.to/nitya
If possible Jason fried,dhh or any other experienced software devs .
@nitya & @yvette have already been AMA guests!
Jason Fried & DHH are great suggestions though :)
Jason Fried is not a developer ;-;
Yeah DHH would be more relevant, but if Jason jumped in in addition, that would work for me. They're definitely partners in all of David's work.
Why I asked them is they are more than just software devs .
They run a great business in a simple , but elegant way.
Their book Getting Real is much like checklist for startups .
Their books and blogs is entirely based app n their and their team's experience.
We can a lot more from such multi talented people .

How about Jon Skeet?
