More quotes by Linus Torvalds
Generally, the best way to learn git is probably to first only do very basic things and not even look at some of the things you can do until you are familiar and confident about the basics.
Linus Torvalds
I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.
Linus Torvalds
People will realize that software is not a product you use it to build a product.
Linus Torvalds
One of the reasons that I really don't mind that people are selling Linux commercially is exactly because it does make me feel good that people use the product.
Linus Torvalds
Most of the good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.
Linus Torvalds
I'm perfectly happy complaining, because it's cathartic, and I'm perfectly happy arguing with people on the Internet because arguing is my favourite pastime - not programming.
Linus Torvalds
When I do programming in my free time and for my own enjoyment, I really want to have a kind of protection: knowing that when I improve a program those improvements will continue to be available to me and others in future versions of the program.
Linus Torvalds
If you start doing things because you hate others and want to screw them over, the end result is bad.

Linus Torvalds
I love making friends.... it's people I can't stand.
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
A consumer doesn't take anything away: he doesn't actually consume anything. Giving the same thing to a thousand consumers is not really any more expensive than giving it to just one.
Linus Torvalds
While I may not get any money from Linux, I get a huge personal satisfaction from having written something that people really enjoy using, and that people find to be the best alternative for their needs.
Linus Torvalds
The Linux philosophy is laugh in the face of danger. Oops. Wrong one. Do it yourself. That's it.
Linus Torvalds
Developers have the attention spans of slightly moronic woodland creatures.
Linus Torvalds
The big thing about distributed source control is that it makes one of the main issues with SCM's go away - the politics around who can make changes. BitKeeper showed that you can avoid that by just giving everybody their own source repository.
Linus Torvalds
No problem is too big it can't be run away from
Linus Torvalds
Before the commercial ventures, Linux tended to be rather hard to set up, because most of the developers were motivated mainly by their own interests.

Avoiding complexity reduces bugs.
