Linus Torvalds

I'm not a fan of people who try to make things proprietary. I like to make things accessible.

I'm not a fan of people who try to make things closed. I like to make things collaborative.

I'm not a fan of people who try to make things perfect. I like to make things evolving.

I'm not a fan of people who try to make things fast. I like to make things stable.

I'm a firm believer in the 'do it yourself' philosophy. If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Evolution is a slow process, but it's a powerful one.

I'm not out to conquer the world. I'm just out to write good software.

I don't do social. I do technical.

The future is open source.

If you think you're good, you're probably not.

I'm a lazy person, which is why I invented Git. So I don't have to do things manually.

I don't believe in magic. I believe in hard work.

The only way to make progress is to make mistakes.

I'm not interested in money. I'm interested in making things work.

The only thing that's constant is change.

I don't trust people who don't have a sense of humor.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.

I'm not a fan of bureaucracy.

The only way to do something well is to enjoy it.

I'm not a fan of complexity.
