More quotes by Linus Torvalds
The idea of abstracting away the one thing that must be blindingly fast, the kernel, is inherently counter productive.
Linus Torvalds
The way to do good basic design isn't actually to be really smart about it, but to try to have a few basic concepts.
Linus Torvalds
In many cases the user interface to a program is the most important part for a commercial company: whether the programs works correctly or not seems to be secondary.
Linus Torvalds
With software, you really can replicate and do a lot of very real and active development in parallel, and actually try it out and see what works.
Linus Torvalds
We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds.
Linus Torvalds
Developers have the attention spans of slightly moronic woodland creatures.
Linus Torvalds
Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.
Linus Torvalds
I never felt that the naming issue was all that important, but I was obviously wrong, judging by how many people felt. I tell people to call it just plain Linux and nothing more.
Linus Torvalds
Avoiding complexity reduces bugs.
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
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
Linus Torvalds
I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly.
Linus Torvalds
I don't doubt at all that virtualization is useful in some areas. What I doubt rather strongly is that it will ever have the kind of impact that the people involved in virtualization want it to have.
Linus Torvalds
I am pragmatic. That which works, works, and theory can go screw itself. However, my pragmatism also extends to maintainability, which is why I also want it done well.
Linus Torvalds
The NIH syndrome (Not Invented Here) is a disease.
Linus Torvalds
In open source, we feel strongly that to really do something well, you have to get a lot of people involved.
Linus Torvalds
I'd argue that everybody wants to do something that matters, and the fact that Linux has had a huge impact on the tech market and is used virtually everywhere is obviously very personally satisfying. I think programming is fun, and the community around the kernel is great, but a project has to be relevant too.
Linus Torvalds
Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.
Linus Torvalds
And 1.1.81 is officially BugFree(tm), so if you receive any bug-reports on it, you know they are just evil lies.
Linus Torvalds
I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.
