There's a biography, I think even freely available, you can see interviews with some of his lab coworkers and even his mom.

He's Autistic, his mom says it.

maybe shes just memeing 😄

The guy was a genius in physics, he was one of the few that took an advanced course, and survived to the end, with like 4 or 5 others only.

But he gave up because he was insecure on whether he could discover something new, and he liked computers more.

Who knows what his autism could have discovered in physics.

so the GCC was written my Stallman's Autism?

He tried 2 compilers beforehand. On one, the author didn't want to make it free software. The other was public domain, but it sucked.

So he went "well, I guess I'll have to create one by myself"

him explaining why GNU never had a successful kernel sounds like a huge copout

He's autistic, not a software designer.

He designed an extremely complicated kernel.

that was dumb of him

And he never wrote a kernel before.

and yet years later a simple kernel does the job

thats a long time to not learn from your mistakes

I wouldn't call Linux simple, just "dumb, but works."

Now Linus is whining about all the graphics stack being dumped into the kernel.

the kernel as "being one program" as rms describes

Linus doesnt whine he screams the fire of rage from deep inside his heart

the man is a REAL NIGGA

He rages against companies, but he whines with fellow developers.

rms seems like an excuse for himself, by comparison

but thats just personality. thats not code

Linus is just bubbled from ideologies because of the inertia of moving away from Linux.

this is hilarious

you know ive actually wanted to talk to someone about this stuff for awhile, but my only couple coding friends somewhat agree with me already

Linus thinks he's the hottest kernel developer there is, because everyone uses it.

yes

But the whole BitKeeper drama shows how little he cares about others.

i aks nobody their humility for their accomplishments

It's a sorry state of affairs when the main opposition we have to ultra-conservative views are those lunacy.

use the Middle Ground

its where most people are already

DKO in 2005?

Yeah.

Linus' friend had a proprietary version control tool, BitKeeper, he offered a free license for the Linux kernel, with a condition that nobody should reverse engineer it.

well they use git now

The devs were pissed, so a parallel Subversion repository was maintained, but commits to it had to be patched back into the BitKeeper repo.

dude this article is straight philosophy
