Linus Torvalds idézet

Linus Benedict Torvalds a népszerű, Unix-szerű operációs rendszer, a Linux fejlesztésének elindítója, jelenleg is egyik fő fejlesztője.

Szülei korán elváltak, Linust az anyja Helsinkiben nevelte fel. Anyanyelve a svéd, de finnül is anyanyelvi szinten beszél.

Három kislánya van: Patricia Miranda, Daniela és Celeste Torvalds. 1997 eleje óta az USA-ban élnek. Jelenleg Linus munkaadója a Linux Foundation, amely a korábbi OSDL és a Free Standards Group egyesüléséből jött létre. A Linux Foundation az ipar fontos szervezetei, cégei által fenntartott alapítvány, amely anyagi hátteret teremt a Linux kernel fejlesztésének.

Felmenői között sok tanult ember volt. Anyai nagyapja sokat foglalkozott vele, és nagyon fiatalon kapcsolatba került nagyapja számítógépével, melyen kisebb, majd egyre összetettebb programokat írt.

Amikor a Linux kernel fejlesztésébe belekezdett, a Helsinki Egyetem hallgatója volt. Wikipedia

“Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen an angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100 mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.”

“I was 21 at the time, so I was young, but I had already programmed for half my life, basically. And every project before that had been completely personal and it was a revelation when people just started commenting, started giving feedback on your code. And even before they started giving code back, that was, I think, one of the big moments where I said, "I love other people!"”

“Lookie here, your compiler does some absolutely insane things with the spilling, including spilling a *constant*. For chrissake, that compiler shouldn't have been allowed to graduate from kindergarten. We're talking "sloth that was dropped on the head as a baby" level retardation levels here.”
