As someone who does database driven web apps (the opposite end of the spectrum from Linus), there is so much truth in this statment.

What do you mean by database driven web apps? Could you please elaborate more on this part?

That seemed pretty clear to me: a web app where the primary function is to let the user interact with (e.g. search in) a database. What else could it mean?

No I'm not. Pike worked at developing the C language, especially on Plan 9. Plan 9 C has a few unique features added by Pike when Ritchie was his team leader at the labs and Stroustrup was there developing C++. Pike is not a fan of C++, E.g. "object oriented design the is Roman Numerals of computing"
Pike vs Stroustrup
But I'll be gracious enough to give Linus the final word :
I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.
