He doesn't, but he does say that adults shouldn't be doing it, which can be interpreted as "grow up/act your age." I wouldn't really interrupt it that way, though.
>The whole "do an all-nighter to get the paper in the day before the [deadline]" is something that should have gone out the window after highschool. Not for kernel development.

- astura 4y agoHe's just explaining how kernel development is different from academics. Telling someone to "grow up" is kinda mean and should be reserved for when people are being extremely immature. Linus didn't say that.
- robinson7d 4y agoHe did specify high school though, rather than college/university (or a generic like “school” or “academia”). We’re probably all over-reading this quote but it did come off as a “grow up” comment in my reading as well, intended or not.
- coldtea 4y ago>is kinda mean and should be reserved for when people are being extremely immature. Linus didn't say that. Isn't being kinda mean Linus trademark? "Grow up" vs "leave it at high school" is "potato, potatoh" kind of difference...
