People are overly sensitive. Linus was cool and very friendly and nice person most of the time on the mailing lists. Very very rarely he writes those furious replies, but honestly, it was very fun. I just don't understand why people are so much butt-hurt.
- rnd0 5y agoIt's literally a different generation; and people appear to bruise a lot more easily at this point in time. So yes, your first sentence answers your last one. :)
- Tor3 5y agoThe little interaction I had with Linus was friendly and technical (the only direct contact I had with him was a short email conversation where I provided some details about tape SCSI APIs. If there was more I don't rememember it). Anyway, I followed the Linux mailing list from when it started and for many years, and I read everything (including all the patches up to around kernel 2.3.51, if memory serves). I never saw anything I reacted negatively too, from his side. Quite the opposite.
- Tor3 5y agoCan't edit.. that "too" in the last sentence should be "to" of course. Hopefully nobody got confused.
- wolverine876 5y agoLinus strongly disagreed with your comment, and even took a leave of absence to fix the problem.
