I actually disagree with the entire premise of this article, and the sentiment of that premise.
This seems to be a thinly veiled attempt at censoring free speech; "you hurt my feelings, therefore you are not allowed to talk."
Frankly, I'd much rather have someone like Linus chew me out, because at least it's an honest and clear criticism. The tech industry prides itself on being an open and transparent environment, and I don't think that should change because someone's feelings got hurt.
- jschwartzi 12y agoLinus's butt-chewings are generally specific to one aspect of someone's code. He doesn't generally say "Framework X sucks because Y, let's all talk about how much it sucks for several hours instead of being productive." I suspect that in many cases he gets frustrated when people repeatedly do something he's asked them not to do because he has to review their patches over and over again.
