Linus has a right to act however he wants. That doesn't make it right, and frankly it doesn't give me a higher opinion of him. We've seen thread after thread in the past couple weeks about the "locker room" mentality of the industry, but from my seat it seems like a lot of people are condoning it.
- derefr 14y agoI don't know anything about "the industry", since I go out of my way to avoid working in "the industry"--but I want "going to work" to be another way to say "going to go goof off with my friends in a way that makes us money somehow." And I like it when my friends act like assholes; it's amusing, because I know them well enough to know it's not really all that serious. That might not work very well when your coworkers aren't your friends--but really, that's the problem with that, not anything to do with objectively objectionable behavior.
