His Twitter thread with a user called Peter Geist is quite an interesting read: https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1587122439561318400 https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1587122439561318400
It reveals that there are things that marcan is glossing over and forcefully pushing for his way of doing things. No wonder why the conversation with the maintainer is not going forward.
It's also not pretty how marcan is just making fun of the kernel maintainer in other tweets: https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1587023643380682759 https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1587023643380682759
He is talking as if these are private conversations and forgetting that this is completely public.
I admire his efforts in bringing up Linux on Apple Silicon platforms but this attitude of making a tantrum on Twitter is just sad and not very professional. And I bet a lot of junior developers use him as a role model, which is even sadder as this kind of attitude and snarkiness just keeps propagating.
- Fatnino 4y agoHe's always been a little like this. Fits the hot blooded Spaniards steriotype quite well. He'll get pissed off about something, fly off the handle and then calm down eventually. In the meantime he may churn out some very cool stuff because he actually is very technically talented.
- sweden 4y agoI wouldn't call it the "hot blooded Spaniards stereotype", it's more like the general snarkiness and arrogance that emanates from this type of social networks. If you feel the need to escalate your view to Twitter and turn it into a one-sided view, then maybe there is a chance you are missing something out.
- Fatnino 4y agoHe would get like this on irc and his own blog too

- dang 4y agoPlease don't cross into personal attack, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are. Perhaps you don't owe kernel maintainer foes better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- mikelward 4y agoDo you have a link that doesn't require sign-in, maybe Nitter?
- bheadmaster 4y agoSince you already know about Nitter, I'd like to point out that you can simply replace "twitter.com" with "nitter.ca" in the Twitter link and it will open the thread just fine.
- mikelward 4y agoDidn't know that, thanks. I've only just deleted my Twitter account.
