What you achieve as a single developer is far less what you achieve by involving group of developers
What you achieve as a single developer are things like git, minecraft, etc.
Just because these projects inevitably end up needing and attracting more developers as they become as big and well-known as they are, doesn't mean they weren't started by single people who carried them far enough to get them that famous in the first place, or that many projects that are less well-known are still developed and maintained primarily by one single developer.
The fact author mentioned is based on experience rather than having high motivation level one get watching a from a fancy YouTube developer tutorial
Not sure what you're trying to imply here, but I think pointing to real projects that are well-known has a more empirical character than the personal experience of any of us random internet people. Even so, my personal experience underlines the fact that a single person can be plenty depending on the scope of the project. Where you get the "YouTube tutorial" thing from, I have no clue.
In the end, nobody is trying to take away credit from the community of Linux kernel contributors; I am merely pushing back on taking all the credit away from the individuals that started a project and made it big, because they often are not just another maintainer, and their projects didn't only succeed because of other people.

I admit and agreed what you said. Thanks
