People often think that because jerks work at successful companies, you need to be a jerk to be successful. It’s more the other way around: a successful firm can carry many people who don’t add value, like parasites.
Guarantee you Linus wasn’t this bad in the 90s.
- tasuki 4y agoI think he's not this bad these days? He issued some public apologies for his behaviour. He gave us Linux and Git. Yes, he used to be an asshole, but he still did way more for the betterment of humanity than most people.
- freedomben 4y agoYep Linus is reformed these days. He took some time off and went to sensitivity training a few years ago. I'm sure like all humans he has bad days and makes mistakes, but all in all he's really trying.

- val314159 4y agoEveryone I knew ran Linux in the late 90's, I chose to run FreeBSD. I guarantee you Linux was very influential. Solaris was its only real competitor after a while, and Sun went all Java and screwed up its OS.
