pointing and saying “this is shit. Look at this shit”

Yeah you only get to do that if you're Linus 😄

You only get to do that if you’re the founder and leader of a project. If you join other people’s projects then you play by their rules, not your own.

He definitely improved it... but there's still plenty of material for r/linusrants.

He may not directly call people names anymore but he's still extremely rude and unprofessional. He would have been fired long ago from any company I work for, and I live in the UK where it's practically impossible to get fired.
