I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.

Don't hurry your code. Make sure it works well and is well designed. Don't worry about timing.

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

I'm simply too content doing what I want to do to really have a very negative attitude towards MicroSoft. They make bad products - so what? I don't need to care, because I happily don't have to use them, and writing my own alternative has been a very gratifying experience in many ways.

In many cases the user interface to a program is the most important part for a commercial company: whether the programs works correctly or not seems to be secondary.

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