I will get downvoted for that bur I will ask anyway. So what exactly are his achievements?
After reading the article it seems that he mostly produced hot takes, while others did the actual heavy lifing. Goto considered harmful? And some algorithm that would probably be found by someone else?
Will Linus get a monument made of pure gold when he dies?
He won a turing award for advocating for structured control flow. That is the modern standard style for programming.
He contributed a number of algorithms including the shortest path algorithm.
