The mind behind Linux and Git
If you work with Cloud or computers you need to watch this interview with Linus Torvalds.
We are talking about the developer behind Linux and Git.
That’s what I call making an impact in the world of technology.
In his interview he says something very interesting that one of the things that he really likes about open source is that it will allow different people to work together! We do not have to like each other, but you can work together!
Linus Torvalds transformed technology twice — first with the Linux kernel, which helps power the Internet, and again with Git, the source code management system used by developers worldwide. In a rare interview with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Torvalds discusses with remarkable openness the personality traits that prompted his unique philosophy of work, engineering and life. “I am not a visionary, I’m an engineer,” Torvalds says. “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.”
