Linus Torvalds No Longer Knows the Whole Linux Kernel and That's OK (eweek.com)
darthcamaro writes: In a wide-ranging conversation at the Open Source Summit, Linus Torvalds admitted that he no longer knows everything that's in LInux. "Nobody knows the whole kernel anymore," Torvalds said. "Having looked at patches for many years, I know the big picture of all the areas in the kernel and I can look at a patch and know if it's right or wrong." Overall, he emphasized that being open source has enabled Linux to attract new developers that can pick up code and maintain all the various systems in Linux. In his view, the only way to deal with complexity is to be open. "When you have complexity you can't manage it in a closed environment, you need to have the people that actually find problems and give them the ability to get involved and help you to fix them," Torvalds said. "It's a complicated world and the only way to deal with complexity is the open exchange of ideas."
"and that's okay"
I agree in this case. However. Stop trying to tell me how to feel and think, you cunt. Your job is to report.
I read them, they all concern Sarah Sharp, the looney feminist substandard kernel dev who tried to inject herself into a linux kernel ml thread she wasn't even a part of and bait Linus into saying something nasty to her and failed miserably do it. Standard SJW ploy targeting male leadership who aren't cowed by feminist bullshit. In shame, she had to leave the project. Not even sure if she's still employed by Intel anymore. Probably not.
OMG, they is hilarious!!
