Nobody actually creates perfect code the first time around, except me. But there's only one of me.

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

I think that freely available software can not only keep up with the evolution of commercial software, but often exceed what you can do commercially.

I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly.

I'm basically a very lazy person who likes to get credit for things other people actually do.

The thing with Linux is that the developers themselves are actually customers too: that has always been an important part of Linux.

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