Bill Gates' reviews were notoriously difficult - http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html. I wouldn't call him a "normal" boss either.
- serge2k 13y agoA difficult review is not a bad thing, especially when it is a software review.
- chris_wot 13y agoDo you really need to bean arsehole whilst doing said difficult review?
- jckt 13y agoI guess I meant normal as in not-a-sociopath. As another commenter said, Gates was definitely intense. But then a lot of other people can be similarly described (maybe not to the same degree, but someone like Linus is not exactly known for being mild mannered[1], but he's definitely not a sociopath). But thanks for the link though, I'll check it out. I must've suppressed all my Gates-criticism for all the good he's doing now.

- snom380 13y agoWell, for one he also tried to push his co-founder out of the company while he was sick in hospital. If he wasn't a sociopath at the time, he sure acted like one.
