A Programmer Named Tim

It says on my Account that I am, “A Programmer Named Tim” and I see many Accounts say that. Does anyone know what it means?

If Python is a religion with Guido Van Rossum as God, Tim Peters is one of the early apostles. It may be a reference to him. Try

>>> import this

Also in Monty Python (from which the name of the Python language comes), there is a character named Tim the Enchanter. Could be also a reference.
