For the 25th anniversary of the Linux Journal, Robert Young has interviewed Linus Torvalds again. Yes, it's the same Robert Young who is co-founder of the large multinational, Red Hat. This is a follow up interview to the one Robert Young, then a journal publisher, made with Linus Torvalds 25 years ago in Linux Journal. A lot has changed since 1994.

    Torvalds' attitude seems very similar to Steve Jobs'. The fact of the matter is that no cares about it, so long as they get results. It would be nice, if people could naturally learn to get along. In actuality, most people do, because it's no fun hanging out with someone who doesn't care about basic courtesy. There are some, who through whatever reason, never learn it and / or practice it. Linus seems to be that way, but maybe he's just overworked/stressed like the rest of us. Maybe, that's what he's like normally and he likes it. Who knows for sure? It would be nice, if he learned some manners, but at a certain point it's not about that. Some people don't respond to polite requests/feedback.
