I was thinking threads from before his big "shit, i'm an asshole, sorry. gonna take time off" phase. Maybe I have a selective memory, but I'm remembering threads from those couple years before and after Susan Fowler and Uber's culture implosion. It felt like there was a shift in how the whole industry felt about brilliant assholes around then (thank god). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18000698 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18000698 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18083859 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18083859 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16508921 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16508921 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8415603 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8415603 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2372096 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2372096 I think the threads in articles specifically about Linus are better comparisons to this, rather than articles about computing that involve him. But, hey, folk like Torvalds and Gebru both really rub me the wrong way, so it's reasonable that I might be selectively remembering threads where HN said I'm right and that he's an asshole (and I did a lazy googling of "linus torvalds asshole site:news.ycombinator.com" which is biased too), so who knows.
