>he cannot be delighted by something beautiful, because he lacks the education to appreciate beauty
Lunix kernel is not "Something beautiful" in any way,shape or form.
I've seen the sources. Its huge, overcomplicated and filled with kludges to accommodate everything(mostly drivers) at once in monolithic one-size-fits all "Enterprise Solution" which is lacking any stable API to be usable at all.
When it changes it breaks the system every time there is a major change, requiring recompiling the kernel and patching related software to be usable again("Write once, compile anytime").
I assume the daily routine of "Expert Programmers" should be.
1.wake up
2. Download latest kernel
3.compile
4. download new packages
5. compile
6. try to pretend the alpha quality shit you installed is usable
7. crash
8. download patches for kernel
9. recompile and try to use it again
10.since its so crappy you take the sources apart and patch them yourself. After several hours,
11. recompile, day is over now, and any chance of productive work is gone.
12. next day, repeat. You're expert level now.
