It wasn’t a giant coordinated thing that needed decades of patience. It was the epitome of an iterative project that involved stitching university systems together as the opportunity arose.
- csomar 4y agoLLVM and Linux are done by 20 something? Just curious. I also think one issue with these comparisons is the breadth of tech stacks. It was easier to kick-start a JavaScript framework when Backbone JS came to be. But now given the competition, you need to have 8+ years of experience to contribute anything meaningful. This locks most of the young people from doing such stuff, even if they can have deep Buddhist focus.
