The company has far outgrown Linus’s ability to run it. Half the shit he says on the WAN show I cringe at as someone who’s done corporate management / systems consulting for the last decade+. I get the feeling he really is unable to separate his ego from his corporate responsibilities and this inability seeps through in all their content. Just take the Billet Labs fiasco as an example, he was so convinced he knew better that he felt insulted on the WAN show that his conclusion was brought into question when it was shown his mythology was abhorrently flawed; or look to his and the entire team’s proclivity to misappropriate inventory to their homes or the projects that personally benefit him and his family - I would hate to be his personal attorney as any litigation hitting LMG is sure to hit him personally as there is ample evidence of the corporate veil being pierced, and JFC why is the entire consumer tech market perpetually in the mindset of a horny 14 year old? Talk about a hostile work environment.

I found it hilarious when he was discussing Blizzard and their actions to be egregious when the vibe at LTT honestly doesn’t seem all that different - he seems to be barrelling toward following in their footsteps
