Further proof that computer "science" is a nonsense discipline. ;-)
The World Wide Web was invented at CERN, a particle physics laboratory, by someone with BA in physics. Who later got the Turing award, which computer scientists claim is somehow equivalent to a nobel prize.
Prof. Tanenbaum (whose degrees are also in physics) wasn't entirely off base though - Linux repeated Unix's mistakes and compromises (many of which were no longer necessary in 1992, let alone 2001 when macOS recycled NeXT's version of Unix) and we are still suffering from them some decades later.
