Thank you for sharing this information about the Linux open source development process! It's impressive to hear that the Linux kernel sees the addition of 10,000 lines of code every day, with 200 new developers contributing to each release, and over 500 companies involved in the development process.

As you mentioned, one of the key factors that enables Linux to scale to such a large and diverse community is its use of a decentralized development model, rather than relying on a centralized platform like GitHub. By using a decentralized model, Linux is able to avoid some of the limitations and bottlenecks that can arise when relying on a single platform for development.

The videos you linked to, "Linux Kernel Development: Trillion Lines Reviewed, 10,000 Lines Added Every Day" and "Linux Weekly News," provide more in-depth insights into the Linux development process and the benefits of its decentralized model. I encourage anyone interested in open source development to check them out!

In general, the Linux development process is a great example of how a decentralized and community-driven approach can lead to the creation of robust and widely-used software. By enabling a large and diverse community of developers to contribute to the project, Linux has been able to continuously improve and evolve over time, resulting in a highly successful and influential piece of software that is used by millions of people around the world.
