More quotes by Linus Torvalds
On the internet nobody can hear you being subtle.
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
Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.
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
You won't get sued for anticompetitive behavior.
Linus Torvalds
I think people can generally trust me, but they can trust me exactly because they know they don't have to.
Linus Torvalds
The memory management on the PowerPC can be used to frighten small children.
Linus Torvalds
The fact is, there aren't just two sides to any issue, there's almost always a range of responses, and it depends is almost always the right answer in any big question.
Linus Torvalds
I have an ego the size of a small planet.
Linus Torvalds
The NIH syndrome (Not Invented Here) is a disease.
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
Non-technical questions sometimes don't have an answer at all.
Linus Torvalds
If you want to travel around the world and be invited to speak at a lot of different places, just write a Unix operating system.
Linus Torvalds
I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
Linus Torvalds
If it is relevant there is always somebody else out there.
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
Bill Gates really seems to be much more of a business man than a technologist, while I prefer to think of Linux in technical terms rather than as a means to money. As such, I'm not very likely to make the same kind of money that Bill made.
Linus Torvalds
So I decided that if the architecture is fundamentally sane enough, say it follows some basic rules like it supported paging , then I would be able to say, yes, Linux fundamentally supports that model.
Linus Torvalds
Helsinki isn't all that bad. It's a very nice city, and it's cold really only in wintertime.
Linus Torvalds
I really never wanted to do source control management at all and felt that it was just about the least interesting thing in the computing world .
Linus Torvalds
