The Way Mr. Torvalds Looks to Me Now

Just recently I've seen a movie on YouTube which is called Tech Talk: Linus Torvalds on git. In this video this man is so smart that any person, other than him, is "ugly and stupid". That's what the guy says almost literally.

I personally don't take it as a joke.

For example, he says, "How stupid a man must be to create Subversion?" Very nice, Mr. Torvalds. However, a lot of people (and me also) are happy with this great product. So I guess, we are all just "ugly and stupid".

What I say to that -- Mr. Torvalds is a Goebbels. Consuming his code is like taking a glass of wine from Goebbels.

Cheers,
