Linus Torvalds
1969–Present · Creator of Linux & Git
He built Linux in his dorm room and gave the source code to the world. Today it runs every Android phone, every cloud server, the International Space Station, and 96% of the world's top supercomputers. Microsoft called open source a cancer. Torvalds didn't argue — he just kept building. Then he built Git, the tool every developer on earth uses. A Grithosian doesn't debate. They ship. The work speaks for itself.
