  > I have successfully contributed thousands of patches to many large projects. I don't need help. Linus Torvalds successfully contributed far more, and for decades swore up and down that he didn't need any help with communicating (after all, what's so hard about it? You say what you mean and mean what you say! Child's play!). And yet even he eventually realized his need to learn. At the end of the day, community and morale is far more important, because it improves velocity overall and fosters new blood. I know it's hard to see, because I've been there myself, scratching my head at why those "idiots" wouldn't just see reason and do things efficiently like me. Focusing on the code and not the people and their "silly" politics. I took far too long to realize that I was the problem.

    No, Linus Torvalds did not realize that, he thought he was going to get cancelled, so he _claimed_ he was going to change. After the stormed passed he went back to being Linus.
