Linus Torvalds' lifestyle tips for hackers: Be like me, work in a bathrobe, no showers before noon Linux Lord Linus Torvalds has offered some lifestyle advice for hackers, suggesting they adopt his admittedly-unglamorous lifestyle but also his ethos of working on things that matter.

This is Linus you're talking about - criticize him when you get close to doing 1/10th of what he's done. I think that you work in the way that works for you - the important thing is that you do something you enjoy.

Linux Lord Lifestyles are recommended and highly commended and regarded. Give AI Varieties a go and take them for a spin with exciting novel controls to create Future Command in Charge of Control.
Methinks not only Private Pirates would take and remake any Field with such AIPowerful Creative Energy for Immaculate Source.
In one of his books he talks about the significance of monk's robes versus military uniforms. Basically robes allow free movement and encourage freedom of thought while military uniforms make you constantly aware of them and so encourage discipline rather than independence.
The bathrobe as a modern version of the monastic habit?
