Situation?
🚨 BitKeeper bailed. Linus got mad.
🛠️ Built Git in 10 days.
🧠Accidentally revolutionized version control.
He just wanted something that wasn’t crap.
Now 20 years later, we’re all still using his “temporary hack.”
Lesson?
Never piss off a genius with free time.
Result?
If you’re relying on Git today, you’ve got 10 days of Linus’ frustration to thank. 🙌
🔍 CTO takeaway: Linus didn’t build Git to last—he built it to solve a problem fast with clarity of purpose and zero fluff. No committee. No whiteboard marathons. Code that just works.
