    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

            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.
