"stroking his own ego is not what this is about. He doesn't need that."

Forgive me for interjecting politics into this debate, but we all know at this point that there is at least one highly successful egotist in this world who still needs to have his ego stroked on a regular (daily) basis. I admire Tanenbaum and doubt that he fits into this category, but the category does exist.

I honestly can't tell if you mean Trump or Torvalds.
It has to be Torvalds. They said "highly successful".
