Linux kernel was also probably a lot smaller back then. Easier to reason about things when something goes wrong.

Personally i think when projects grow, there is a point after which you cant really reason that much about what is going on, just have to debug it.

Even then it was most likely still one of the most ample software projects on the planet

actually when the project is too big you can't debug it, you need to trace it.
