I'm in no way offended by Torvalds' typical expletive-laden rants. But they do strike me as a terrible way to communicate.
These outbursts seem to happen every few weeks, and have long seized to surprise. IF anything actually bad ever comes up, he has no further escalation available to raise awareness.
It also reminds me of these choleric bosses screaming at someone every day: it's almost always a sign that they're insecure, sociopaths, or can't handle their responsibilities.
- beaconstudios 8y agoThis is the actual reason his manner of communication is poor - swearing and generally blunt language like this should be reserved for shaking people into action, whether it's due to their otherwise ambivalent attitude or the severity of the situation. By making a big fuss for every moderate concern he has, he leaves few options open for when the situation demands that people spring into action.
