I'm a technical manager, but I don't have to take care of people. I only have to worry about technology itself.

To be honest, the fact that people trust you gives you a lot of power over people. Having another person's trust is more powerful than all other management techniques put together.

If you start doing things because you hate others and want to screw them over, the end result is bad.

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.

I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.

When you say 'I wrote a program that crashed Windows,' people just stare at you blankly and say 'Hey, I got those with the system, for free.'

Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.
