How did Linus Torvalds single handedly code 90,000 lines of Git using an editor as primitive as uemacs?

Before fancy editors with syntax highlighting, linters, and code completion, everyone coded this way. Linus just learned to deal with it like everyone else.

he didn't do anything but copy what someone else (AT&T) already did

Ironically the Internet stole the potential of many kids who were gonna be developers by being a huge distraction

I would love a dopamine trap. Most traps are depressed.

How do you create code using your brain?

I thought they were fundamentally different, and one of his main motivations of making linux was he disagreed with the minix design?

And everyone else copied what Harvard, Bell Labs, Xerox did etc etc etc
and we can keep going down that rabbit hole saying they copied Shannon and Turing etc etc etc

Second person here, I wasn't criticizing, just pointing out that AT&T suing the BSD team is a big part of why Linux caught on instead.
It set things back enormously.

I believe he replicated MINIX's syscall interface, but yes the design is very different (MINIX has its scheduler, filesystem and most other drivers running as userspace processes while Linux takes the more traditional approach of putting them inside the kernel)
