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

I don't think I'm unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light.

An individual developer like me cares about writing the new code and making it as interesting and efficient as possible. But very few people want to do the testing.

While I may not get any money from Linux, I get a huge personal satisfaction from having written something that people really enjoy using, and that people find to be the best alternative for their needs.

I get the biggest enjoyment from the random and unexpected places. Linux on cellphones or refrigerators, just because it's so not what I envisioned it. Or on supercomputers.

The way to do good basic design isn't actually to be really smart about it, but to try to have a few basic concepts.

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.
