Linus Torvalds : The mind behind Linux


Linus Torvalds at TED2016
The mind behind Linux  (transcript)
Summary
I don't know about programming completely. However, even such a person must use Linux programming systems when he/she uses the computer. Linux that powers much of the internet is in millions of computer and in every single one of the Android devices. Now Its system becomes an open source that everyone makes small or big changes.

The speaker created the kernel of Linux, however, he said that first, there was no intention behind using the kind of open-source methodology. He just enjoyed programming to get what he wanted, and then someone contributed some code, gave him feedback and gave him ideas.

I love his thoughts.
First, enjoy your work.
Give, give, give, give and give someone something you have. Although the speaker said that someone gave him feedback, it meant that he opened his systems to everyone as open source desperately.
Big and benefit are not related to being yourself. He said that the big point was when it was becoming little.
Being stubborn and just continuing, even it takes much time.
At last, we are different but we have to work together. We might not agree to disagree but we can have an interest in different things and it's important those combinations with good taste and instinct.

There are many people who have a lot of big plans, a five-year plan, and want to go to space. They are really better people, however, the speaker said that he is a person who is looking at the ground, wants to fix the pothole that in front of him before he falls in.
I might also be like him probably.
Our communities and the world will be the same systems as programming and they are needed.
