> I have a feeling the majority of people would disagree with me anymore, but then again, my mindset and attitude were largely set by the military long ago, so I like strong leaders who don't brook BS. So how do you reconcile this opinion with the fact that Linus thinks this new approach makes him a better leader? Indeed > "So I'll still call out people (and particularly companies) for doing dumb things, but now I have to do it knowing that it's news, and me giving some company the finger will be remembered for a decade afterwards. Whether deserved or not, it might not be worth it." "it might not be worth it" is pretty damning. That approach you admire doesn't necessarily have the effects you want it to.
