I'm not disappointed in Linus, how much bullshit and push back could you take before you snap and don't want to play ball any more? If you beat a dog, it stops coming over to you. I think I would have done the same as Linus many years ago. He is still a saviour, just a defeated and jaded saviour.

I am disappointed in the current state of technology though. Everything is code of conducts, safety first, sexual this, gender that, my feelings, your feelings and political correctness. I wish people could just talk about programming and software without making it complicated. None of the above topics are relevant to programming. The world owes you nothing, and that's true of people with pink hair and without alike.

My only hope is that this new approach to solving shit implodes. I don't see quality coming from this constant appraisal of everyone's feelings. Maybe then I'll be able to work again as a programmer, not a human resources manager who occasionally programs.
