You need to realise that

(a) that's the creator of Linux (b) see (a) above

That shouldn’t excuse him from being a reasonably decent person to work with.

He gets a lot more leeway than being the creator of Linux should afford someone.

Unreasonable people build things. Reasonable people run meetings.

>>Sanjay+n8
Reasonable people also build things.

Unreasonable people also build things alone where everyone else doesn’t have to deal with them.

The world is hardly as black and white as you make it seem.

I have no opinion on Linus’s behavior here, but that is both false and toxic. Steve Jobs only became truly effective when he learned to be reasonable in appropriate contexts. People who remain unreasonable all of the time crater their companies in the long run. Every time.

>>myname+ka
There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

>>myname+ka
Can you imagine seriously making the claim that Linus built Linux alone.

>>P5fRxh+kg1
Who made that claim? I certainly didn’t.

Just as the parent comment generalized about the two kinds of people out there, I added other examples of generalizations about people. But that’s all they are, generalizations. Not specific examples.

>>Sanjay+n8
Looks like I've annoyed the "reasonable" people with this comment. Interesting.
