In Hindsight: Tech Quotes That Got the Future Right and Wrong
Tech leaders love predicting the future. Sometimes they nail it, sometimes they miss spectacularly, and sometimes they leave behind quotes that only get better with age.
Linus torvalds articles
Linus Torvalds is fed up with AI-generated bug reports bloating the Linux kernel
Torvalds is fine with vibe coding, but only when it helps rather than hinders
Torvalds kicks off Linux 7.0 after 6.19 lands with key tech gains
The latest kernel focuses on live updates, encrypted device communication, and accelerated networking
Linux gets a continuity plan for the day Linus Torvalds steps aside
The Linux kernel now has a roadmap for leadership transition
Linus Torvalds has started vibe coding, just not on Linux
Ripple effect: Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux and Git, has quietly joined the ranks of developers using generative AI to write code – though only as part of a small personal project. His recent experiment with vibe coding shows how even the most traditional programmers are beginning to incorporate AI tools into their workflows, at least for low-stakes development.
Linus Torvalds calls Google engineer's RISC-V code "garbage" in Linux 6.17 dispute
The engineer took the criticism well
Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds meet for the first time at tech titans' dinner
Dave Cutler, lead architect of the Windows NT kernel, was also there
What just happened? Given that there was a time when Microsoft called Linux a "cancer," it's little surprise that the Redmond firm's co-founder and long-time boss Bill Gates had never met Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel. But that changed recently when the two attended a dinner, and it appears to have gone well.
Most current AI tech is 90 percent marketing, says Linus Torvalds
And we tend to agree with the creator of Linux
Linus Torvalds is "fed up" with making kernel changes to address faulty hardware
"Let's put the onus on where the blame lies ... bad hardware"
A hot potato: Linus Torvalds is sick and tired of trying to "fix" Linux to work on Intel's faulty processors. In his view, Linux isn't broken, so why should he (and other FOSS developers) fix anything? Intel is the one with the problems. He vented his ire in a thread recently.
Linus Torvalds worries RISC-V will repeat the same mistakes made with earlier architectures
This happens every time new processor architectures are introduced
Linux 6.5 is a smooth-sailing upgrade for the open-source kernel
No excuse to delay the release any further, Mr. Linux said on Sunday
Linus Torvalds suggests disabling AMD's "stupid" fTPM to solve a persistent stuttering issue
The problem affects Ryzen-based PCs running both Windows and Linux
The Rust programming language will join the Linux kernel
Rust has matured enough and will be welcomed in Linux 6.1 if all goes well
In Hindsight... Tech Predictions and Quotes
#ThrowBackThursday Many have tried to follow Intel co-founder Gordon Moore (of Moore's Law fame) in bringing their tech predictions into the public eye... with varying degrees of success. Every year for nearly a decade, we've revisited this TechSpot original feature to bring new quotes to your attention. Here's a taste of those now infamous quotes.
Linus Torvalds abandons Intel for AMD after 15 years
Linus Sebastian is also showing love for team red
Linus Torvalds returns to Linux project after time off to address his behavior
Lets hope the break helped
Linus Torvalds apologizes for years of "unprofessional rants," is taking break from Linux
The Linux creator is known for his explosive outbursts
