Linus hasn’t received any recommendations yet.

I find it extremely interesting that Linus Torvalds Linkedin profile doesn't have any 'Recommendations:

Received (0)

Given (1)

Linus hasn’t received any recommendations yet.'

You may say he doesn't need it. Everyone knows he invented Linux. Well almost everyone :)

But it also shows and reflects the world we are living. You barely hear his name and he is not in the news.
I know people with 10, 100 recommendations.
It is all about building and maintaing your connections. So the old saying goes: "Its not what you know, its who you know"
It works amazingly well even nowadays in the age of knowledge.
I think of the Linus legacy and I think of:
Security and stability
Extensibility and simplicity
I think of Bill Gates legacy and I think of:
Unsecure and untrustworthy
Proprietory and complex
One is humble and down to earth creator
The other is shrewd and cunning businessman
One is doing OK
The other is billionaire
You can now run Linux on Windows :) You can now run SQL Server on Linux...
I won I won. You almost  hear him saying.
The whole Microsoft model was to trap the consumer into 'simplicity' of Windows.
It worked. We all fell for it - just click here and there and all is done. Its easier that way.
No need to think. We will think for you in the background.
Now we hear all over the news - breach is here, and here and here, ransomware etc. etc.
No one is asking why? How we arrived here. 
Simplicity my friend - just click here and here. No need to think.
We will secure Windows for you.
Back to Linus :)
Enter Debian and install Kali. Enter Alpine and install Docker. And the list is going on and on and on....
Easy to use and secure the from ground up.

I think about legacy these two men will leave.
I want to say:
"Linus thank you very much. I have learned a lot by just playing with Linux"
"Bill thank you very much. How much do you want for it? Can you take it with you?"
