The Story of Quiet Building
In 1991, a 21 year old Finnish student named Linus Torvalds sent a simple message to a newsgroup. He described his hobby: creating a free operating system. He called it "just a hobby, won't be big and professional." That humble kernel, shared openly, became Linux. It wasn't launched with a manifesto, but with a quiet, curious build. It reminds us that foundational things often begin not with a roar, but with a sincere note to a small community.
