FWIW I have absolutely NO interest in contributing to any project Linus is managing - I will not do it. The only reason is his behavior which is unnecessary and of little honor.
- coldtea 13y agoFWIW? Well, it's not worth much. People with huge skills HAVE participated in projects Linus is managing with no problem. I for one, would not participate in a project with a pushover leader, or a comitee style leadership with passive-agressive politeness.
- AnthonBerg 13y agoYou're missing the point: I'm not the only one. It is obvious that people who don't mind his management style will work together with him. To put it another way: There's absolutely NO chance that I would work for a boss with Linus' poor manners and rudeness for money. No way in hell would I do it for free. I don't think I'm the only one who feels it would go against myself-respect to work together with a boor of Linus' caliber. The dissemination of information is a completely different thing from the respect and honor you show the person you're talking to, which is again completely different from your selection of strategy. For instance, it is possible to be steadfast without lowering yourself and the communication to the level that Linus will do. (And in stating 'FWIW', I know what it's worth. No need to be rude, is there? In fact, there's no need to be anything but polite. In my opinion. For what that's worth.)
