Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.

There are "extremists" in the free software world, but that's one major reason why I don't call what I do "free software" any more. I don't want to be associated with the people for whom it's about exclusion and hatred.

C++ is in that inconvenient spot where it doesn't help make things simple enough to be truly usable for prototyping or simple GUI programming, and yet isn't the lean system programming language that C is that actively encourages you to use simple and direct constructs.

I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.

I made very sure that I did not get involved with any of the commercial Linux companies, exactly so that I would be neutral and not ever seen as "working for the competition".

Software is like sex. It's only good when it's for free.

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