The Linux creator is interested in AI, but the hype means he "basically ignores" it.

        Not especially old, though; he looks like a 54yo dev. Reminds me of my uncles when they were 54yo devs.

          As a 46 year old dev I’m starting to look that way too.

        I guess having 3 kids will do that to you.

            That and leading an open source project for 30 years.

            THE open source project.

              Whether you’re leading a project or not, time will have pretty much the same impact. He’s in his mid-50s, and he looks pretty good for that age.

                I mean he’s aging quite well given his position… Many people burn out way earlier.

        That’s an excessive amount of aging is what folks are seeing. Not that he’s just old.

        He’s lost a lot of weight in 4 years so that’s probably exacerbating the wtf.

          He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

      People age. You don’t look the same as in 2010 either, I know that without having any idea what you look like.
