"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

And the unreasonable one writes his own Unix clone... and ends up putting several multi-million-dollar companies out of business.

I know which I admire more, TBH.

But I use ext4, yeah.

something i have always observed, is how considerate Ted Tso's writing always is, but more than that, how consistent this property has been for so many decades.

its quite funny to me that ext4 very much mirrors him in that regard. its underpinning damn well everything, but you'd never know about it because it works so well.

This is less true when T'so asks questions at conferences, of course.
