Posted by timothy on from the relatively-unsung-hero dept.

Jeremy Andrews writes: "KernelTrap has interviewed kernel hacker and guru Jordan Hubbard, one of the creators of FreeBSD and currently a manager of Apple's Darwin project. With just a high school education, Jordan has offered some impressive contributions to the world of computing. In this interview, Jordan talks about his current involvement with Darwin, as well as his past efforts with FreeBSD and 386BSD. He also reflects on his recent decision to step down from the core FreeBSD team."

  1. Security by mlinksva · · Score: 3, Interesting
    We've pretty much scaled all the smaller and more well-known mountains like "portability" and "security" and are now left with some of the taller and more foreboding peaks, like "clustering", "distributed filesystems" and "ubiquitous computing".

    Good thing security is in quotes. Not a small mountain, nor has it been scaled. See the Saving the UNIX API thread from a few months ago on the cap-talk mailing list.
