Linus does not fuck around - Lemmy.one

An oldie, but a goodie

I’ll be that guy: I miss the old Linus. If I fucked up that badly I’d want to know I had fucked up that badly.

Yeah, it’s kind of invigorating to see somebody speak so plainly. No “There’s a couple issues we should maybe discuss”, no “Let’s loop back on that sometime”, no “Hmm, is that really the best approach? Do you have any documentation?” Just a straightforward “Dude, this is shit! Here’s some reasons why!”"

Having worked for a decade in tech, I would love it of people were this direct.

This is straight-up one hundred percent childish and straight-up one hundred percent toxic, and if you think this is "invigorating", you're probably a fucking psychopath and definitely a fucking child, either by age or by mental capacity. Plain enough for you? Fucking moron. I hope I never run into anyone like you in my professional life. I'm not scared to run into you in my personal life, though, because dealing with wimpy little wannabe tyrants is incredibly fucking easy outside professional contexts.
If you’d left that last cringey part off it would have been perfection.
Well that’s pretty hilariously ironic. I’m nothing like this, I wish I were more comfortable being direct. But meanwhile, you heap abuse on me and threaten to beat me up because I said “boy, it’s nice to see someone speaking directly”. You’re much worse than Torvalds, and I completely agree it would be a terrible idea for us to ever work together. Or for you to work with anyone else, for that matter.
