The Gordon Ramsey of software
Ah, this happened two days ago? Further reading:
Linus Torvalds flames Google kernel contributor over filesystem suggestion
Here’s the specific response and it’s even better than anticipated.

His response to Linus was interesting to read.
Oh and especially this comment further down in the conversation…
As it is, I feel like I have to waste my time checking all your patches, and I’m saying “it’s not worth it”.
I’m basically done with this. I never said I was a VFS guy and I learned a lot doing this. I had really nobody to look at my code even though most of it went to the fsdevel list. Nobody said I was doing it wrong.
Sorry to have wasted your time
Sheesh. Seeing just how long he goes on tantruming is kinda surprising 😳 seems like the guy was just trying to contribute… ya don’t have you shit in mouth, right? Jesus
Thank you for validating my feelings here. I don’t know why we idolize this kind of behavior, but berating someone on a mailing list should not be acceptable, much less desirable.
