I would love to get paid to work for Linus. I'd feel bad if I got fired, but I would not feel bad if he harshly criticized my shitty code. I'd be enthusiastic about the fact that my skills were about to be honed sharply because all the sudden the standards are raised extremely high. Insults don't really matter to me as long as a legitimate criticism is in there somewhere. If it was just "you're awful, go away" with no technical points, that's a different story. But in that event, it's easy to respond: "Did you have any actual criticism of my code? Pretend that I can't read your mind, and explain the problem to me."
