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

I'm generally a very pragmatic person: that which works, works.

Once you start thinking more about where you want to be than about making the best product, you're screwed.

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

On the internet nobody can hear you being subtle.

It just makes it even harder for people to even approach the (open source) side, when they then end up having to worry about public humiliation.

Most of the good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.
