I think Linus and 90% of GitHub projects would disagree.

  You should probably do some research about Linus net worth. He has been employed to work on kernel for a few decades. And if we are talking about some of the most important software projects, approx. zero of them are run by hobbyists. Some niche aplications - sure. But not the most important pieces. (Disclosure: for the last few years I employ 4-8 people to work on GNU GPL licensed products, so I know a thing or two about how it works)

    Do you really think Linus works 9-5? I assure you he doesn’t. I’ve also developed and led teams that developed many OSS projects and very successful consumer applications. Not once did I micromanage my team’s working hours. They make their own schedules as people know best when they can produce good output.

      Linus is very disciplined, so yeah, he likely does work 9-5, like most organized people with a family do. As for 'micromanaging working hours', it's not a question of micromanagement, but of communication. It is far easier for everyone to work in the same rythm, knowing that you aren't distracting a person you need to contact from his private life.
