"Every developer"... that's a bold statement.

I don't think my code is so special or magical, maybe specially bad and magically bad...

Also I believe his name is Linus, not Linux ^_^

Maybe he doesn't consider people with such mindsets a developer :) ?

I like hiding my code and hoping no one ever sees it and points out how bad it is.

In the real world, yes. I was trying to be funny.

I do prefer when the team/company at least starts with a decent set of coding standards for everyone to follow. Especially on projects with dozens or hundreds of devs touching things. It seems companies realize the benefits of that often after it becomes a problem.
