Ugh, having been on the receiving end, this type of belittlement is the worst, and breeds resentment, factionalism, and a host of other toxic elements in the workplace.
Irrespective of the validity of his critique, prima donna developers are the worst and I would start looking for jobs elsewhere because programming is already stressful enough, don't want to start worrying about the people.
Luckily, this is from years ago. Linus took a hiatus a few years back to work on his anger, and he's been a lot better lately.
Yeah, and now instead of directly participating in this kind of shit behavior, he just lets everyone run wild and do it for him while sitting atop his pedestal
Do you have evidence of this being the case? Is the CoC not being enforced?
I mean Billet Labs, Madison, the shit apology videos, leaked HR meeting recordings; even if he doesn't directly participate in the shit, it still slides from what I understand. I don't think I know 100% of everything to do with the situations, and I have been a long(ish)time fan, but tbh it wouldn't surprise me as his attitude is clearly reflected in the original post. If not directly an asshole, definitely egotistical.
Not this Linus, this is not the LTT Linus, this is the guy who wrote Linux.
Oh fuck 😂 my bad
I read through most of that email thinking it was that Linus as well. Read it in his voice and everything lol... Then the last name finally clicked for me and I realized it wasn't him
I just did that thing where you laugh one big ass laugh but it's silent and leaves you winded
Oops haha.
Once I realized you meant LTT I laughed so hard
The initial belittlement was from Mauro though, just more concealed.
This is especially egregious in a volunteer context. Barking orders might work on commercial employees, but intrinsic motivation is all volunteers have, so you gargle their balls if it keeps them coming back.
I get the controversy now. Actually, it goes to show exactly how much he's achieved technically that he's still a sought-after figure at all.
