You didn't last long enough. Really good flowing interview after the initial over the top YouTube shenanigans
I thought it was one of the better LTT videos for sure. Torvalds is much better on camera than he claims to be and it was interesting to see his outlook on a broad range of questions.
Well.. Not really. I watch it to the end. It still feels a bit off.
It was off, it’s LTT. It was intertainment with some interview.
Still, L.T. had fascinating things to say, and a refreshing down-to-earth outlook on things like data storage (keeps no files really, just uploads to git and lets others worry about whether it’s worth saving or not), a.i. (important, somewhat inevitable, overblown hype, horrible business practices), and how he geeks out playing with hardware designs for things that are completely out of his expertise so it’s low stress (e.g. guitar effect pedals but he doesn’t play).
That joke, about just uploading everything and letting others decide what's worth saving, is one I first heard decades ago. Might still have been him who first made it.
That's fair ltt is never going to be everyones flavour
