Linus Torvalds transformed technology twice - first with the Linux kernel, which helps power the Internet, and again with Git, the source code management system used by developers worldwide. In a rare interview with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Torvalds discusses with remarkable openness the personality traits that prompted his unique philosophy of work, engineering and life. "I am not a visionary, I'm an engineer," Torvalds says. "I'm perfectly happy with all the people who are walking around and just staring at the clouds ... but I'm looking at the ground, and I want to fix the pothole that's right in front of me before I fall in."

Linus made the kernel, not an "OS". GNU existed before the Linux kernel. It was a project to create an "OS" that was based on free software (not as price but as usage). The project was missing a kernel, a centeral way to manage the hardware and software. (Would look up definition of a kernel for better understanding). As a bad metaphor, Linus created the drive chain for a car that was already mostly built.

@@nadrile Pretty sure he just meant that he doesn't like people, perfectly understandable if you ask me. Also, he's Finnish, I'm Norwegian, in Scandinavian countries it's common to just say what you mean without all the courtesy phrasing some English speaking countries use. If we say "I don't like people" that means we don't like people and are not looking to change our minds about it, very straight forward and uncomplicated. Linus has no problem with the language barrier as he's very used to communicating in English. So I think you guys are just picking up on the cultural difference that we tend to think courtesy phrasing and polite small talk is dishonest and therefore the opposite of courteous, if you don't like us and don't want to talk to us we want you to tell us and not pretend like you do and waste our time.

It's really interesting how Linus realized that, even being a strongly self-centered introvert, his projects could only grow up if he let other people join in. No matter how good you are at something, even if you're a genius: you'll need a lot of other people to make things work. I've seen this myself throughout life. Many of friends are brilliant in what they do, but not exceptionally recognized for that, professionally and financially speaking. On the other hand, the most successeful people are usually the ones who know how to deal with others and make them work together. Nowadays we're taught to work hard on ourselves, study overnight, acquire knowledge, learn loads of stuff, practice everyday and be as individually productive as humanly possible. But I hardly see anybody talking about how important it is to build relationships, be in touch with your team, find ways to cooperate and help each other. And Linus's example here is that it doesn't even mean you have to be an outgoing person or even be friends with anybody: you can find your own way to deal with that. Amazing interview!

It is one thing to slap a wall of code text and expect everyone to deconstruct it line by line, method by method, package by package. It is another thing to post, "Wait, what if we added this __" and then demonstrate it using a diagram and supplementary code, if necessary and ready. It introduces tools and strategies in a higher-level point of view that actually stimulates collaboration and idea-sharing.

Yes I agree that Linus should get a Nobel prize. He is headstrong, yet selfless! He designs much better software than I thought! The example in this TED talk of bad code vs good code, totally makes sense. The if statement just makes the code more complex with extra processing and not enough documentation! The good code, the one he said had good taste, was much harder to envision but much more elegant and simplified which would reduce the processing, of the CPU, maybe to 50% to 75% of the processing time. And it had much better documentation! Linus's interview on TED talks, this video, makes me very much want to use Linux as my primary software! I want to know which Linux Distro he uses, and which one he recommends! I've used Linux before, from 2008 to 2012. Ubuntu. But when Debian incorporated FreeBSD Software I did not want to be with Debian based Distros anymore. I still don't want to be with FreeBSD Related software because it has a Demon as it's mascot, and that Daemon looks like a young devil. Which I totally do not like at all. I want to be with Heaven On Earth, and God, and Jesus, and Angels, not the devil. Which makes me wonder why there are Daemons in the Linux Distros. Could Linus and a dedicated group engineer those Demons into Angels instead, if they are good demons? Please let me know? And hopefully Linus will read this comment someday! He is a great man who gave away his possible copyright to allow for Free and Open Source software! Thank-you very much Linus! Christ Chalmers 2019 April 4 Thursday 6:14pm.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Linus is probably the most influential single person in the world today, to the daily life of each one of those people. At the same time easily the humblest person I've ever seen. It's obvious that his work makes up more of his personality and identity than anything else even comes close. As Dalai Lama is a political ideology running on the platform of a human being, Linus is a System Management Tool. With open source he has even created a platform to ensure his immortality. In that breath it's important that we steward his legacy carefully and faithfully.

The second linked list remove() implementation can be understood with a good grasp of pointers and referencing and dereferencing operators. & is the reference operator and gives you the address (pointer) to a variable in RAM, * is the dereference operator which reverses the process and accesses the data in a pointer. The beauty of the 2nd implementation is that it recognizes that the pointer to the head and the variable holding that pointer are one in the same and a change in data in one will change the data in the other, and thus there is no need to check if it's the head.
