Ok, I take that back, he is my hero too! I used to wonder the same about
Linus (Torvalds) when
I was on linux-kernel, how he could handle so many patches, hold down a job
AND find time
to write code of is own is beyond me. Not to mention family, food, fun.

Hey, he's already my hero! :-)
I'm quite sure he doesn't run make test after every patch, and I doubt
he reads every line. Or at least, I doubt he thinks hard about every
line. I don't require my heroes to be masochists. And remember, he
only signed up to be the internals _designer_!
