In the next installment of “Kill Your Heroes,” Linus Torvalds (who doesn’t write Linux kernel code anymore), gives a full endorsement of the use of proprietary software to generate computer documents.
Using Google Antigravity (which is just a reskin of Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code product) he created a GUI in python. His excuse is that he didn’t know how to write Python to create a user interface, being the egocentric millionaire who worships the US and hates Russia, he somehow could not find anyone in the world who would be willing to help “the Linus Torvalds” make a user interface or hire someone to do it for him. 
Imagine being a millionaire and being so lonely and defeated that you can’t find anyone to help you write part of your hobby project. 
He should try abusing people on the mailing list again, that should help.

Phoronix article that summarizes this
Yeah that guy has a long history of being unprincipled. “Pragmatism” has been literally his whole ethos and brand since I can remember. That guy just basically lucked out on the fact that his own selfish interest isn’t hoarding money, and that it mostly happened to line up with the public good. Which to be fair he is self-aware enough to acknowledge, for whatever that’s worth.
torvalds abides by exactly one principle: no changes to userland because of the kernel. pretty much any other principle a human might choose to abide is up for debate for him.
two principles, I’d say. No Russian changes to the kernel, and then no changes to the userland because of the kernel
