Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux operating system, is known for his blunt and no-nonsense approach to technology and software development. He is not one to mince words or sugarcoat his opinions, and his famous quote, "Standards are paper. I use paper to wipe my butt every day. That's how much that paper is worth," perfectly encapsulates his attitude towards industry standards and bureaucracy.
