I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.

When somebody who is different shows himself to be different in a good way, that's how development happens.

The complaints I've had is that GitHub as a development platform - making commits, pull requests, keeping track of issues etc - doesn't work very well at all. It's not even close, not for something like the kernel. It's much too limited.

I have an ego the size of a small planet.

We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds.

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 never felt that the naming issue was all that important, but I was obviously wrong, judging by how many people felt. I tell people to call it just plain Linux and nothing more.
