Is Linus actually a good programmer though? Linux is certainly popular but he had a lot of help with it. As a person he seems prone to lashing out and childish. I doubt hed last in the real world with his attitude, the only place he could succeed is heading his own open source project

He built git alone in a week as a side project. If you think you are a good programmer, there's no way Linus isn't many orders of magnitude better.

looks like a less than 2k LOC. Source control wasnt a new concept. How is this "orders of magnitude" impressive though?

[brazukadev]

Sure. Now show us your best creation and we will compare.

[skeezyjefferson]

but how is that impressive though?

He can act however he wants considering his contributions to humanity at large

[skeezyjefferson]

have a word. his contributions are dwarfed by the community's.
