With a more serious note, let's note how figurative "Linus" acts as an 
overarching enforcer of some patterns that lead to that desired overall 
result.

Rust compiler has similar effect, forcing you to adopt overall something 
while you can't grasp, why your initial code-phrases were not okay for 
low level machine. Okay in your mind's eye, but not for low level machine.


And may be in a math-lens note.
Rust compiler enforces some seemingly local rules, like who owns and 
borrows what on each local line of code.
But then compiler stitches it all together, integrates all small steps 
together. And seemingly local rules unexpectedly form an integral shape 
with great properties, like reliability of multi-threaded code.
