⚡️🏆 STORY - The legend who quietly changed the world of tech

Everyone knows Linux. Many people use Git every day.

But few realize that both come from the same person: Linus Torvalds.

➥ Created the Linux kernel at age 21

➥ Developed Git because no existing tool was good enough

➥ Unintentionally became the foundation of servers, Android, the cloud, and supercomputers

➥ Never sought fame, titles, hype, or the spotlight

➥ Remained discreet, consistent, and brutally honest for decades

➥ Continues to review code and improve Linux to this day

In a world full of noise, Linus Torvalds is proof that:

Impact doesn't need attention.

Excellence doesn't need hype.

Consistency beats everything else.

I owe Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman (creator of GNU) a lot: digital (and real) freedom offered by the system they created. Thank you both!

Thank you for mentioning rms. He had already done a lot by the time Linus showed up.
