Of course it's the only thing that matters to him, he's spent a huge chunk of his life on it.
"Torvalds groaned and replied, "I never had a vision. I don't want one. I see myself as a plodding engineer." On that note, the interview ended to the crowd's applause."
Legend.
Seems like he's gotten a lot more humble as he's aged. I recall him being a real jerk years ago (even though he was technically right).
It's so weird to see him with gray hair. I wonder who will fill his role when he's gone.
