      You know the silly stuff at the start was actually Torvald’s idea, right?

      Linus (Sebastian) spoke about how he didn’t even get the reference but Linus (Torvalds) prompted him to go and watch Highlander (“there can only be one!!”)

      You should’ve kept watching it. There’s some good stuff there.

        I laughed so hard at the highlander reference. It might just be that you gotta know the specific meme and culture to enjoy it. Even YouTube Linus didn’t know the reference.

        Seeing the two Linus’s pulling out katanas on each other was hilarious.

          Different generations. They didn’t get each other’s cultural references.

          God forbid someone who’s made their life tech is very excited that Torvalds has come to visit them and turned out to be a really nice guy.

          Torvalds will probably be the highlight guest of his entire career, and he knows it. Of course that’s enormously exciting.

      You didn’t last long enough. Really good flowing interview after the initial over the top YouTube shenanigans

        I thought it was one of the better LTT videos for sure. Torvalds is much better on camera than he claims to be and it was interesting to see his outlook on a broad range of questions.
