Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.

Backups are for wimps. Real men upload their data to an FTP site and have everyone else mirror it.

I think of myself as an engineer, not as a visionary or 'big thinker.' I don't have any lofty goals.

There are "extremists" in the free software world, but that's one major reason why I don't call what I do "free software" any more. I don't want to be associated with the people for whom it's about exclusion and hatred.

All operating systems sucks, but Linux just sucks less

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.

I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
