Linus confused about evolution and engineering
- jleyank 18y agoGreat, he's allowing the schedule to slip and blaming humanity. Just because we ran version 0.9 "neandertal" for a few ten's of thousands of years before upgrading to version 1.0 "cro magnon" about 30-50K years ago... Guess the 3.0 kernel's going to be delivered about the time of ST:TNG?
- weavejester 18y agoI thought Linus had a good point. True, the forces involved in biological evolution are usually a lot dumber than your average programmer, but it's still a fair analogy to compare the lack of overall direction in the open source world to the lack of overall direction in the biological world.
