This email should have stayed in Draft for a few hours and then come back to remove all the expletives. At least Mauro has something to hang on the wall of his crapper.
This was from a while ago. I believe Linus took some time away to try and work on his interpersonal skills. I haven’t seen anything since his hiatus, but hopefully he’s less abusive and more constructive in his messages now.
Nah, I say he could’ve kept the swearing if he changed the intent. Maybe it’s my Australian slipping out, but they’re just words. They can’t hurt you. The intention sure as hell can, and I’ve seen way more vicious things written without swearing.
And agreed, it’s just an arsehole-ish rant in general, regardless of whether he swore or not.
Neither does anyone until you grow up and realise you have to work with other people long term, and you have to develop others around you. Thats why behaving like a seething, spoilt cunt as linus is here doesnt achieve anything. It makes him look like hes stuck up his own ass and unable to communicate effectively - even if all of his points are technically correct.

Why? Swearing is fucking great.
Nah. No one wants to work with people like this. It’s toxic

Because shitting on other people, belittling them, attacking them personally, and being verbally abusive isn’t?

You can do all of that with or without swearing just as easily.
Yep. In this email it is done using them though.
So then what makes the swearing special? It’s the intent that makes them hit, not the words themselves.
Nothing. He just used it here with angry intent and he should’ve removed it. And not change for non-sweary anger, if that isn’t clear

You can tell you havent worked in any more than a low-rung position anywhere
Or maybe I just don’t make corporate culture my entire fucking personality

“try to be a decent human being to others” isn’t exactly the embodiment of corporate culture though.
I don’t see the need to degrade others to get my point across - and I couldn’t care less if anyone needs a fucking curse to get their shit across.
Then why are we arguing? Because I agree with you.
Wow, you’re an ass.
