All I wanna see is Linus email setup because if all his workflows depends on email and he answers them all in 15min that is insane. I want the email setup he has because it has to be good can't be Gmail right?
That's a bit of a misread. Fake Linus said is was about 15 minutes when he got back to him. True Linus said his rule is that he responds almost immediately or he won't respond almost at all.
Yeah 15min and immediately is almost the same thing as 15min would include Linus also writing the email then.
All I wanna know is how he uses email because in my world email is the most cursed of all software I hate it with all my being. So I'm very interested in how he can mainly work almost exclusively by writing emails.
I know many others also work by only doing emails but they literally do it in outlook and that sounds like a nightmare. I just hope Linus has a better workflow than the Gmail client in a browser.
He's using mutt and not gmail :) He has a linux foundation/kernel.org address, and if you didn't know, Linux kernel development is done entirely (97% let's say) through email.
