Linux 内核开发模型
Linus Torvalds (1991)
Linus 没急 Linux。他从386上的终端模拟器开始。然后加了任务切换。然后是文件系统。每件逐步加,测试,整合。没宏大革命宣言——只是稳定发展,一件一件,俾系统根据他自己内在逻辑生长。开发模型变成了那东西:逐步进展,每个子系统维护者独立但协调咁工作,补丁逐步审查同整合。山上的树。到1994年,Linux 1.0 发布——但只是在三年逐步成熟之后。内核的开发过程本身变成范本:分布但有秩序,自发但有结构,结果革命但方法保守。队形里面的野鹅,每只搵到他适当的位置,从远处睇到的模式。这个不是 Unix 重写的革命——这个是发展作为自然生长。

Practical Guidance
从坚实基础逐步发展。不是慢因为你没能力——逐步因为那先创造持久工作。
经典文本将这个同革命(卦四十九)对比。革命是危机下必要转变。发展是根据内在逻辑有机生长。Linux 不需要革命——Unix 范式是健全。他需要的是那范式在新硬件同背景的耐心、分布实现。Linus 没急他。终端模拟器,然后任务切换,然后文件系统。每件逐步加,测试,整合。
野鹅意象映射到内核开发:每个维护者是队形里面的雀,搵到他相对其他的位置。你可以从远处睇到模式。但每个个体独立移动,透过他们自己导航维持位置。岸、崖、高原、树、顶峰、云高度——每个阶段有他适当的挑战同回应。
这里是关键点:你不能急树的生长。第三爻警告去得太远太快——不返来的人,失去孩子的女人。内核的分布模型成功是因为他尊重自然发展步伐。补丁审查、测试、整合——逐步。没独裁者强迫快速变化。没委员会因为共识要求而瘫痪。只是清晰协调的稳定进展。
危险是失去耐性。减少到没东西的慢进展因为你停止维持努力。发展需要坚持。山上的树不快速生长。但他从远处睇得见。他的根深入。他透过稳定存在影响成个景观。
知你在哪种情况。革命定发展?如果基础是健全,选发展。逐步建。俾系统根据他内在逻辑而不是外部压力生长。到你到达云高度——第六爻,你的羽毛在神圣舞蹈服务——工作站作为例子。但那是终点阶段,不是开始。在岸开始逐步进展。
队形持住是因为每只雀维持他们的位置。在模式里面搵到你的位置。稳定咁做你的部分。信任逐步过程。
