Someone who doesnt see a problem with this is probably one of those toxic people who dont realize they're toxic you mentioned. Nobody wants to be treated how Torvalds treated people.

Also, coming from an orchestral background, I'm well aware of situations where the leader needs to be gruff. A gentle conductor will never get the idiot violists playing in tune. (A harsh one won't either, but at least the violists will be too scared to make any noise.) That said, it's still unacceptable for a conductor to cross the line from gruff to personal attacks.

Torvalds often crosses that line into outright toxicity. I've written a few kernel patches that I never tried to upstream for that reason.

No they can't. They can get a clanker to crap out code at a pace that matches or beats yours, but I assume your code is better, and know that you have a better understanding of your code than the clanker user has of the clanker code.

But, I've talked to people that think this way with zero humor.

Bonus points if they also developed the blog on a MegaDrive.

I misremembered and thought it might be what we call the Master System (SG-1000 Mk III).

I wouldn't get bent out of shape if Xsnow showed me a Canadian/Greenlandic flag in response to me using en-us.

Few years ago, I replied to a comment asking if a crime in a news story was punishable by death. I replied that yes, the law allowed the death penalty and linked the law in the state where the crime happened. (I also added a parenthetical that I oppose the death penalty.)

I got a two week ban for inciting violence.

I imagine some automod type of tool flagged my comment, no human could have been stupid enough to think I was inciting violence.

The clanker said I'd be fine, I just needed some rest and OTC meds.

The medical staff immediately turfed me to surgery because the same set of symptoms I told the clanker were enough to concern them that I needed emergency surgery.

Had I have listened to the clanker, I'd be dead because I did need emergency surgery. (Hell, I almost kicked the bucket because I waited for someone to wake up to give me a lift because.my insurance probably doesnt cover an ambulance ride.)

Maybe you're incapable of communicating with your coworkers about how your employer exploits you. I graduated third grade, so I'm not.
