    At first I read “quiet Greek engineer” and I was like, damn they Greeks now to do engineering. Then I thought Linus couldn’t look less Greek.

      Co-founder by legal title (obtained as part of a settlement), not by, you know, co-founding.

      Like how he’s the chief engineer of SpaceX. With no qualifications.

      Oh well, at least his Path of Exile account was probably legit. /s

        This makes it worse IMO. What a fucking loser poser. So desperate for acknowledgement that he needs to steal it through litigation.

        Imagine if someone said “I don’t have any knowledge or expertise in this area but I really believed in what these guys were doing and I could see their capacity for greatness so I chose to support their endeavors”. There’s certainly no shame in that.

      I suspect the designer was quite frequently overridden by the toddler with crayons.

      On one hand, it must be frustrating to come up with a design only for you boss to come and throw it out. On the other, I suspect he’ll wipe away his tears with dollar bills.
