- bangaladore 2y agoI don't know where that image is from, so you are working on information I do not have, but still, the first "paragraph" sets up a possibility reinforced by an anecdote in the second. It's not asserting that only 5 contributors could re-create the entirety of the Linux kernel in 5 years. I very much took his argument as an open-source project with a small number of leaders, with the help of the larger OSS community, could make a mature subset of a Linux compatible kernel in a small amount of time (years)
- convolvatron 2y agonanos wrote a quite reasonable subset of the linux kernel in C using less than 5 people at a time on average and somewhat less than 5 years. this can totally be done.
