That shouldn’t excuse him from being a reasonably decent person to work with. He gets a lot more leeway than being the creator of Linux should afford someone.

- SanjayMehta 4y agoUnreasonable people build things. Reasonable people run meetings.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoReasonable people also build things. Unreasonable people also build things alone where everyone else doesn’t have to deal with them. The world is hardly as black and white as you make it seem.
- SanjayMehta 4y agoThere are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
- P5fRxh5kUvp2th 4y agoCan you imagine seriously making the claim that Linus built Linux alone.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoWho made that claim? I certainly didn’t. Just as the parent comment generalized about the two kinds of people out there, I added other examples of generalizations about people. But that’s all they are, generalizations. Not specific examples.
- KerrAvon 4y agoI have no opinion on Linus’s behavior here, but that is both false and toxic. Steve Jobs only became truly effective when he learned to be reasonable in appropriate contexts. People who remain unreasonable all of the time crater their companies in the long run. Every time.
- SanjayMehta 4y agoLooks like I've annoyed the "reasonable" people with this comment. Interesting.
