That makes no sense. If _Linus_ thinks you should know better is not the same as "they claim to be experts". According to you, who has claimed to be an expert and demanded that Linus should listen to them?
>and has a _huge_ ego.
Sounds a lot like Linus Torvalds.
>I have an ego the size of a small planet, but I'm not _always_ right
>I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git.
>I'm always right. This time I'm just even more right than usual.
All direct quotes from him.
>I've seen Linus handle people numerous times who are learning or do not claim to be experts and he is always respectful, civil and a lot less blunt.
People who are sometimes rude to others can also be sometimes nice to others. This is not surprising in the least.
- khedoros1 9y agoIt seems like Linus tends to be rude to the right people, while Lennart is rude and dismissive of anyone who disagrees with him, regardless of who they are.
- yebyen 9y agoI have nothing of substance to add, but I agree with that.
- KirinDave 9y agoThis is entirely a matter of opinion and cultural norms. That's a terrible basis for an international project.
- khedoros1 9y agoWe might be better off replacing both dictatorships with an international leadership panel or something. It seems like that would be the quickest way to dilute the effects of opinion and clashes between different cultures. It might be a quick way to blunt innovation in both. Or not. I dunno; people are complicated.
