Idk, hasn’t nostr become something he can no longer control

He’s pretty much on top of the protocol. Once he disappears he’ll be the Satoshi of Nostr.

Okay, I don’t mind him as our benevolent dictator. Fiatjaf is an anarchist, so if we must be ruled by someone…

Yep. Legends.

He gave everyone on the Internet a voice.

Linus quotes:

- “Talk is cheap. Show me the code.”

- “I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.”

- “Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.”

- “Only wimps use tape backup. REAL men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.”

- “I am not a visionary. I'm an engineer. I'm happy with the people who are wandering around looking at the stars but I am looking at the ground and I want to fix the pothole before I fall in.”

- “I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.”

- “Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.”

- “Don't ever make the mistake [of thinking] that you can design something better than what you get from ruthless massively parallel trial-and-error with a feedback cycle. That's giving your intelligence much too much credit.”

- “Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses.

Every single time.”

- “Benevolent dictator? No, I'm just lazy. I try to manage by not making decisions and letting things occur naturally. That's when you get the best results.”

Yes. Fiatjaf is Linus!

Haha, yeah, I knew I recognised some of these lines of wisdom!
