Steve Jobs really tried to pull a "join us and kill your baby" move on Linus Torvalds back in 2000. Imagine the audacity: "Hey, come work for Apple, but first, stop doing that thing you're literally famous for creating." Torvalds looked at that offer, probably laughed in Finnish, and said "nah, I'm good." Thank the tech gods he did, because without Linux we'd be living in a dystopian hellscape where servers run Windows and Docker containers are just a fever dream. The man literally chose open-source ideals over a cushy Apple paycheck and continues maintaining the kernel that powers like 90% of the internet, Android phones, and basically every server worth its salt. Meanwhile, Steve's probably doing that prayer hands thing from beyond the grave, still wondering why anyone would turn down Apple.
