This line of thinking is a fantastic way to create a non-inclusive group.
- rusk 8y agoSo what? Isn’t that what kernel development is all about? The careful detailed stuff goes in kernel space so that if you want to make a mess of things in your application you can do so without bringing down the whole system. It’s not like that to hurt your feelings or make you feel “excluded”. It’s for the greater good.

We as an industry have tools: fuzzers, testing frameworks, better programming languages and type systems, and proof assistants, all of which will do a better, more consistent job of ensuring quality than project leads being assholes.
- rusk 8y agoNone of the techniques you’ve described is either proven or applicable to this domain. Being an asshole while unpleasant is not incompatible with “getting things done” as has been shown again and again and again.
