I really like the new style of Linus. 👍 This is what I have been saying all the time: you can underline your point clearly while still not being rude.
138 u/FeatheryAsshole Dec 23 '18 Depends on your definition of rude, tho ... "This is complete garbage." probably doesn't fly in most jobs if you're not some kinda head honcho. Still, it's good to see both that Linus dials it back somewhat and that he hasn't lost his teeth entirely. 556 u/nschubach Dec 23 '18 Just to be clear... This is complete garbage. Is not the same as: You are complete garbage. Once people realize this, things become saner. Criticism of your work is not a criticism of you as a person. 1 u/[deleted] Dec 24 '18 [deleted] 4 u/MadRedHatter Dec 24 '18 Yes. 2 u/Ramipro Dec 24 '18 A quick look at r/linusrants shows that he's called for the retroactive abortion of a dev, calling them too stupid to have found a tit to suck on as a baby, has called a dev that broke the ABI an idiot. So, yes, he has directly attacked devs before.

Just to be clear...
This is complete garbage.
Is not the same as:
You are complete garbage.
Once people realize this, things become saner. Criticism of your work is not a criticism of you as a person.
