After reading a book on operating systems, Linus felt the need for a UNIX-like OS for his PC. He used MINIX as a base to develop his own kernel and named the project Linux.
LessonPersonal frustration with existing tools can lead to the creation of a world-changing product.
Linus Torvalds jokingly attributed the naming of his projects to his own ego. He noted that he named Linux after himself and followed the same pattern with Git.
LessonA founder's personal brand and confidence can be directly embedded into the identity of their products.
Torvalds began coding Git on April 3, 2005, and announced it just three days later. By the next day, the project was already self-hosting, meaning Git was being used to manage its own source code.
LessonLaunch a functional version as quickly as possible and use your own product immediately to identify flaws and accelerate development.

LessonReal-world production use by customers is a stronger signal for product adoption than personal preference.
