the peak linus torvalds quote (for me) is much shorter and less memeable

@catoutofbed Any time I see quotes like this, I think of an unnamed engineer at IBM, seeing a microchip for the first time in 1968: "...but what is it /good/ for?"
@noelle @catoutofbed ...this still seems like a pretty good heuristic, give or take.
