Interview: Ask Linus Torvalds a Question

Posted by samzenpus on from the go-ahead-and-ask dept.

samzenpus writes: Linus Torvalds, the man behind the development of the Linux kernel, needs no introduction to Slashdot readers. Recently, we talked about his opinion on C++, and he talked about the future of Linux when he's gone. It's been a while since we sat down with Linus to ask him questions, so he's agreed to do it again and answer any you may have. Ask as many questions as you'd like, but please keep them to one per post.

    Many people think you often come off as an asshole. Do you agree with this assessment? Is it more "in truth, I am an asshole" or more "I'm unfairly misinterpreted as an asshole"? What role do you think "being an asshole" (or acting in a way interpreted as being one) has in managing major projects?

    Linus, why did you let systemd happen?

    Why didn't you do more to stop it, especially when it was clear it was going to be an epic disaster?
