If you don't understand all the 10s of million of line of linux code, you don't know whether you are using linux correctly.

- spoiler 5y agoIf you're going to try to be clever/snide, at least come up with a better analogy... Using Linux effectively doesn't mean you need to learn its source code. You need to know about its features (and trade-off, etc). You don't need to know a language implementation's (e.g. gcc/clang for C++) source code to use a language well either, do you? Obviously you don't; it's a fools errand if all you ever want is to use it effectively. You need to know about features (and trade-off, etc), how they were designed in isolation, and more importantly how they were designed to fit/connect together.
