I don't understand how abusive bullies like Ted are allowed the privilege of being a senior kernel developer. This feels, in the end, like the fault of Linus, for allowing abusive maintainers to maintain their grip.
- entropicdrifter 2y agoLinus was the original abusive bully maintainer, that's how. He's improved his personal use of language, but the culture that he initiated continues unabated. Linux's existing success as a project is used as evidence that it doesn't need any changes to the kernel maintainers' culture.
