Linus Torvalds TED talk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8NPllzkFhE
The speaker keeps trying to make him seem like this legend or visionary.
Which in a way he is... but he does not view himself that way. He seems
himself as an engineer who creates things, and let history make its own
judgements.
I like this quote from him at one point in the video:
“I’m perfectly happy with all the people who are walking around and just
staring at the clouds … but I’m looking at the ground, and I want to fix
the pothole that’s right in front of me before I fall in.”
One of the many reasons why so many geeks like us respect the man, he is
not an egotist like some tech rock stars tend to be.
May the source be with you!
