@wholookshere but @JasonDJ never claimed that Linus is perfect. On the contrary, he admires how normal and human and unfiltered Linus is. So in terms of toxicity profile, we don’t need to actually meet him to know what to expect. So your gotcha is kinda irrelevant. We know he’s not a saint, and isn’t trying to be. Which paradoxically makes the guy more righteous than all tech billionaires combined.
Counterpoint: Linus was all out in the open.
I wouldn’t want to see what Bill Gates is like behind closed doors…especially as a kid.
No one is saying hes on the level of gates or jobs or whatever.
But that doesn’t make him an angel either. It makes him human.
He famously took a year off because he wanted to work on how toxic he was.
The comment was never meet your hero’s. Hes a good guy, but if you have had to work with him, you may be leas inclined to agree whole heartily.
