He is also one of the biggest proponents of working only through online communication. He, as the sole contributor to Linux at that point with famed single line license, release linux to the open internet.
The entire philosophy is based on the idea of:
1. Being open to skepticism (this includes being technically evaluated on your work, which is possible through public submission of that work)
2. Allowing people to work on the things at which they excel.
If you don't subscribe to these ideas, it doesn't matter where you work, how you work or what you do. It will not be 'innovative'.
