I don't expect to go hungry if I decide to leave the University. Resume: Linux looks pretty good in many places.

Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.

I am very happy about Android obviously. I use Android, and it's actually made cellphones very usable.

UNIX has a philosophy, it has 25 years of history behind it, and most importantly, it has a clean core. It strives for something - some kind of beauty. And that's really what struck me as a programmer. Operating systems that normal home users are used to, such as DOS and Windows, didn't have any way of life. Nobody tried to design Windows - it just grew in random directions without any kind of thought behind it. [...] I don't think Microsoft is evil in itself; I just think that they make really crappy operating systems.

The Linux philosophy is "laugh in the face of danger". Oops. Wrong one. "Do it yourself". That's it.

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

Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.
