What do you think Linux would look like today if the kernel team was friendly and outgoing and willing to put on kid gloves and help all the newcomers? What would it look like if everyone's code were "good enough"?
What would enterprise look like if Linus was polite and held everybody's hand who wanted to push code into the kernel? Would Linux be as far along as it is? Would it be the same quality?
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. HN is a hellscape of insane nerds on the spectrum with no EQ.
Do you actually think rudeness directly correlates to code quality? Like, the more of a dick you are, the better your code gets? What kind of sadistic computer science class were you subjected to? Did you watch the movie "whiplash" and take it as a truism?
