Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.
Avoiding complexity reduces bugs.
Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.
I think of myself as an engineer, not as a visionary or 'big thinker.' I don't have any lofty goals.
I am not out to destroy Microsoft, that would be a completely unintended side effect.
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
