I remember reading "Showstoppers" and David was quoted to say "If you break the build I'm the lawn mower and your ass is grass". Do you think such attitude is mandatory for good kernel level code?
(I actually think it does and argued with people on HN, although I never wrote any professional kernel code myself)
Aside: If you liked "Showstopper" you should give a listen to the Computer History Museum's oral history interview with David Cutler: https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/10271716...
Thanks, I have done that one, and the other from Dave’s garage.
