Has anyone shown this to Torvalds? I feel like it might open his eyes to some things...

@jordyd Linus is in a position where he's gotten away with being an asshole for so long that demanding that he change is a non-starter.

@jordyd
He is like that for a reason.

tl;dr He was once too nice and did someone not tell "your code is shit" so this guy continued to work on it.

His commits got rejected several times but he still kept going until someone finally said that they have no use for his code, no matter how much he works on it.

This guy then later tried to commit suicide and then Linus said he should have been harsher in the beginning to make clear that his code is not wanted
