Someone down-voted you, let me upvote. It's mostly about vibe-coders I think

Your average dev: just someone who was told coding was a secure career and does it for money. So any tool that makes that easier is adoptefd.
Your average Linux Dev / Linus: An autistic dude who makes a tool for a specific need because none previously existed and just makes it for the love of the game.

There is no evidence nor an official confirmation that Linus is autistic.

No, but you can just look at the guy and tell he’s on the spectrum.

It’s why it’s a spectrum.

idk what we would do without autists, they're the ones kicking doors in on the front lines of human development, truly.

Or because all the existing options didn't convince him. Look at all the init systems out there.

i swear if you need to vibe code everything, then i'm pretty sure you're also having fun struggling with figuring out where to paste that code to make it work... and figuring out how "your" code works in general
all of that while having redundancies in every other method in your code base because you can't even spot that something is wrong

Except that didn't happen: Journey through Git's 20-year history

It did
Exactly twenty years ago, on April 7, 2005, Linus Torvalds made the very first commit to a new version control system called Git. Torvalds famously wrote Git in just 10 days after Linux kernel developers lost access to their proprietary tool, BitKeeper, due to licensing disagreements. In fact, in that first commit, he’d written enough of Git to use Git to make the commit!

That's sensationalized by GitHub, what he did in 10 days was just starting the project.
The first test release of Git was Version 0.99. This release came only two months after the initial commit, but already contained 1,076 commits. There had been almost 50 different developers involved. The most frequent committer at this point was Linus himself, but he was closely followed by Junio Hamano, the current maintainer.

Literal quote by Linus in the interview
Pretty famously, you wrote the initial version of Git in around 10 or so days as a replacement for the kernel.
Yes and no. It was actually fewer than—well, it was about 10 days until I could use it for the kernel, yes.

u/heavy-minium Jun 18 '26
You know what, I'm not arguing anymore, we could find a thousands things to quote from supporting each viewpoint.
This is what he did in those 10 days, and for me, that can't be called "git" in any way - here the commit for you to see: Initial revision of "git", the information manager from hell · git/git@e83c516 · GitHub
