I got the feeling reading that, that Torvald is burned out and frustrated.

I know as a kid helping father with a project, sometimes he could be a bit frustrated, maybe I wasn't grabbing the correct size tool, or holding the flashlight in the right place. Maybe Linus feels like that?



He specifically said he wasn't burned out. I agree that he does sound frustrated, though maybe with himself more than with any particular folks.


Yeah maybe I took it from when he said he had been attending a conference for 20 years and was hoping he didn't have to.

He does say he loves the project and wants to continue and compared it to when he developed git


Ah good point, yea I can see how you could come to that conclusion. I understood that to mean that perhaps he felt like he wouldn't be missed (i.e. they would be able to manage without him).
