Quotes of the week
[Posted September 16, 2009 by corbet]
No need anymore to write some printk to debug, worrying,
sweating, feeling guilty because we know we'll need yet another
printk() after the reboot, and we even already know where while
it is compiling.
We would build less kernels, then drink less coffee, becoming
less nervous, more friendly. Everyone will offer flowers in
the street, the icebergs will grow back and white bears will...
And eventually we'll be inspired enough to write perf love,
the more than expected tool to post process ftrace "love" events.

How can waiting for child1 to run a bit before forking off child2
_not_ hurt? The parent is the worker bee creator, the queen bee if
you will. Seems to me that making the queen wait until one egg
hatches and ages a bit before laying another egg is a very bad plan
if the goal is to have a hive full of short lived worker bees.

And yes, but the engineering model of the kernel development cycle
is that engineer hours are wasted and thrown away all the time.
They are surplus, sorry. That's how life works here.

One of my functions is pointlessly sending patches at maintainers
so you don't have to.
