Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on December 28, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Linus Torvalds! May your day be filled with fewer bugs than a freshly compiled kernel and more joy than merging pull requests without conflicts. Your groundbreaking work on Linux has given us all the freedom to endlessly tweak our systems—and occasionally break them spectacularly.

From revolutionizing open-source software development by creating Git (saving countless developers from version-control nightmares), to diving deep into Subsurface—proving that even underwater adventures need meticulous logging—you've truly debugged life's greatest challenges. Here's hoping this year brings you as much happiness as you've brought stability (and occasional chaos) to programmers worldwide!

Cheers, Linus—the ultimate commit-master!
