Linus Torvalds
Turtles are very stable and have been around forever. But they have problems adapting. When humans came along, turtles came under serious threat. Biodiversity is good, and I think it is good in technology as well.
Linus Torvalds
If you start doing things because you hate others and want to screw them over, the end result is bad.
Linus Torvalds
A computer is like air conditioning - it becomes useless when you open Windows
Linus Torvalds

Linus Torvalds
I'm a technical manager, but I don't have to take care of people. I only have to worry about technology itself.
Linus Torvalds
No problem is too big it can't be run away from
