KernelTrap Interviews Andrea Arcangeli

Posted by timothy on from the not-your-ordinary-attic-dweller dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Andrea Arcangeli completely rewrote the 2.4 Linux kernel virtual memory subsystem several years ago, a surprising event during the evolution of a stable kernel series. A very intelligent 27-year-old from Italy, Andrea spoke with KernelTrap in great detail about the past, present and future of his Linux kernel efforts. An interesting interview ."

    He has higher education, he just doesn't have the degree. The article indicates that he learned a great deal from his college courses.

    A degree gets you an interview. What you learned gets you the job. AA skipped the interview step ;-)
