I actually work with someone like this and didn't even realize it until I read this article. This person will immediately berate anyone that has done anything slightly "wrong" and imply that they are stupid and shouldn't be wasting everyone's air. Seeing how Linus changed his phrasing and still kept the message really opened my eyes. Fortunately, this is my last week working with this person so I won't have to put up with it much longer. :)

That's pretty terrible that you're dealing with stuff like Linus' first message there at work. I'm no bleeding-heart cream-puff, but that's really an unacceptable tone to adopt for a work environment. I would not accept that tone from a colleague. I wouldn't call his second message fantastic either TBH.
