I'm looking for code that can be definitely attributed entirely to a single developer. I'm pretty sure Linus is not the only developer of that code. Also it's C, whereas most companies these days are looking for OO coding so C is somewhat less relevant for my specific purpose in this exercise.
Why not just go to github and explore the most popular projects? As an experienced programmer you can tell if it's good code or bad code. In JavaScript is even more clear, since there are lots of DONT'S, you know, `eval`, `==`, `with`, etc...
I'm trying to find code that is widely accepted as being great code. The popularity of a project is not as effective ass attribution to a specific well known developer.
