I remember criticizing Linus' sarcastic comments on here some time ago. I was surprised by the number of people that defended him saying stuff like "Linus is just Linus" or "he needs to be like that to keep Linux moving forward". I personally think his brilliance would be even more appreciated if he were a bit less sarcastic.
- tomlu 8y agoI feel people confuse being blunt with being rude. "This patch is crap. Stupid this silly that, and how many times have I said you can't break userland." vs. "I won't accept this patch as-is, or possibly at all. It has the following problems [...] and I don't feel you respect userland stability enough." I really don't see how the second version compromises on the clarity or kernel quality.
