Linus Torvalds: People are hard, code is easy, and Rust's role in Linux's future.
Linus Torvalds has been working on Linux for 32 years, longer than many software developers have been alive. Surprisingly though, Linux, Torvalds' earliest 'hobby project,' arguably gains in importance each year, despite its age. It's rare for any software to remain relevant for a few years, much less a few decades. In the case of Linux, its ongoing relevance isn't an accident. Instead, it's a testament to some key lessons Torvalds has learned and applied for years. He shared some of those lessons at the recent Open Source Summit in Japan.
