That's what makes Linux so good: you put in something, and that effort multiplies. It's a positive feedback cycle.

I am not out to destroy Microsoft, that would be a completely unintended side effect.

In real open source, you have the right to control your own destiny.

I think, fundamentally, open source does tend to be more stable software. It's the right way to do things.

I'm sitting in my home office wearing a bathrobe. The same way I'm not going to start wearing ties, I'm also not going to buy into the fake politeness, the lying, the office politics and backstabbing, the passive aggressiveness, and the buzzwords.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see it, the more it looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything technically interesting there.

I actually don't believe that everybody should necessarily try to learn to code. I think it's reasonably specialized, and nobody really expects most people to have to do it. It's not like knowing how to read and write and do basic math.
