Linus Torvalds transformed technology twice -- first with the Linux kernel, which helps power the Internet, and again with Git, the source code management system used by developers worldwide. In a rare interview with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Torvalds discusses with remarkable openness the personality traits that prompted his unique philosophy of work, engineering and life. "I am not a visionary, I'm an engineer," Torvalds says. "I'm perfectly happy with all the people who are walking around and just staring at the clouds ... but I'm looking at the ground, and I want to fix the pothole that's right in front of me before I fall in."
林纳斯·托瓦兹（Linus Torvalds）带来了两次技术革新——第一次是开发出Linux内核，驱动了因特网，第二次是开发出Git，一种源代码管理系统，被全世界开发者广泛使用。在这次难得的演讲中，TED策展人克里斯·安德森采访了托瓦兹，后者非常开诚布公地讨论了自己的性格特点，以及由此形成的独特哲学，无论是对工作、对工程学还是对人生。“我不是个有远见的人，我是一名工程师，”托瓦兹说，“我非常乐意跟梦想家在一起，他们行走四方，仰望苍穹……但我是低头看路的那种人，我只想填好眼前这个坑，不让自己掉进去。“
