I know exactly who Luke is. He’s probably one of the smartest bitcoin software code writers out there and a great individual contributor to Core. Why do you assume I’m talking about Knotts? Anyone who is a software developer can make their own bitcoin implementation no? As far Knotts goes, how many of those other 10 developers have ever had an objection to one of Luke’s changes and are able to stop it from being implemented like in a rough consensus process that Core follows? The consensus of Core developers disagreed with some of Luke’s suggestions and stoped them which is why he has his own implementation. Knotts is Luke’s implementation and he does what he wants, isn’t he free to do that? Also, maybe he’d be happy being described as a dude.
