That's because it was about himself! Bob asked him for his advice.

That's such an overused, uninspired, undistinguished answer. Why would you ask Linus if that's what you want to hear?
- bch 8y agoIt is - a simplistic throw away I came up with as I typed, and still more valuable than “don’t ask me”. I’m just bemoaning that after 25 years he’s still an antihero.

- rakoo 8y agoI value a real answer that shows who _he_ is much more than a generic quote you can find on a wish card _anyone_ can receive. The interview is about him after all.
