    This is what's great about Linus Torvalds:

    [me using random software]: 'This sucks. I could code something better in two weeks.' [false, or "true in theory, but I didn't do it"]

    [Linus Torvalds using random software]: 'This sucks, and basically 99% of the software in this entire category sucks, for reasons X, Y and Z. I could code something better in two weeks.' [true; done]

    Truly impressive. Whenever I start to think I've accomplished anything programming, I look at video like that (which was on reddit how long ago?) and realize once again that there are people who live on a different planet than I do.
