QoTD: Val Henson

“I used DTrace extensively while I was working on Solaris and got used to being able to answer any question I had about a system with a few minutes of script writing. When I went back to work on Linux and could no longer use DTrace, I felt like I went from wielding a sharp steel katana to fumbling with dull flint tools.” — Val Henson on DTrace in LWN
