Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on September 09, 1941)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Dennis Ritchie! Without you, we'd all still be stuck in BASIC—literally. Your creation of 'C' and Unix didn't just revolutionize computing; it gave programmers everywhere a reason to argue passionately about pointers and semicolons. Thanks for making debugging both an art form and a comedy routine.

Winning the Turing Award was impressive, but your real success is evident every time someone proudly compiles code or curses at segmentation faults. You've truly shaped our digital world—and given us endless reasons to stay up late staring at screens. Cheers, Dennis—may your legacy forever compile without errors!
