Linus Torvalds created two of the most foundational tools in modern software development and runs his entire operation from what looks like a repurposed guest bedroom with a standing desk from IKEA. Meanwhile, some guy who just finished a Udemy course on React has three ultrawide monitors, RGB everything, studio lighting, and a gaming chair that costs more than Linus's entire setup.

The man literally built the kernel that powers most of the internet and version control that revolutionized collaborative coding, and he's doing it with the energy of someone who just wants to be left alone to yell at people on mailing lists. No fancy battlestation required when you're too busy actually shipping code instead of optimizing your desk aesthetics for TikTok.
