Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

I'd much rather have 15 people arguing about something than 15 people splitting into two camps, each side convinced it's right and not talking to the other.

I don't have any authority over Linux other than this notion that I know what I'm doing.

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

See, you not only have to be a good coder to create a system like Linux, you have to be a sneaky bastard too.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.

Working in lock-step simply isn't a good idea. Never has been, never will be.
