What happened to Linus? He looks so old now...

Not especially old, though; he looks like a 54yo dev. Reminds me of my uncles when they were 54yo devs.

[-] lechatron@lemmy.today 17 points 1 month ago

As a 46 year old dev I'm starting to look that way too.

[-] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

I guess having 3 kids will do that to you.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

That, and developing software for 30+ years.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 11 points 1 month ago

That and leading an open source project for 30 years.

THE open source project.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Whether you're leading a project or not, time will have pretty much the same impact. He's in his mid-50s, and he looks pretty good for that age.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 7 points 1 month ago

I mean he's aging quite well given his position... Many people burn out way earlier.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

I told him not to go to that beach.

That's an excessive amount of aging is what folks are seeing. Not that he's just old.

He's lost a lot of weight in 4 years so that's probably exacerbating the wtf.

[-] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

He's 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 19 points 1 month ago

What happened to he is happening now to you.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

If you find out what happened, let me know, because I think it's happening to me too.

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

People age. You don't look the same as in 2010 either, I know that without having any idea what you look like.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

He's 54 years old

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Oxidative stress is a bitch

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wow, yeah that's a big difference from how I remember him

[-] breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

He has a real Michael McKean vibe

[-] pfannkuchen_gesicht@lemmy.one 1 points 1 month ago

It's like he aged 10 years in the past 2 years... damn
