this is not calling him out for being a piece of poo poo human being. this is trying to sidestep the issue by pointing out that he's bad at coding. the point is condemning the behavior to make it clear that it's unacceptable in the community, which he fails to do

999 out of 1000 times someone blames a compiler, it's not the compiler. Even when it's a 'heisenbug' that disappears when examined, it's virtually guaranteed to not be the compiler. ESR was right one time and generalized way too broadly in his advice. It's not "bad at software" or whatever that tweet says, just lovely advice.

that's the whole problem here. when presented with a bigot misogynist rear end in a top hat like esr, they claim that what he says isn't important because he's a bad coder instead of saying that he's a piece of poo poo and that kind of speech is unacceptable in the community, no matter what his skills are.

actually they consider being an rear end in a top hat to be a positive and encourage it on mailing lists. see all the fawning over linus email where he's being a dick. they don't understand why it's a problem because they can't identify with others' feelings

With his dotcom millions ESR should hire someone to filter all the dumb poo poo he says and blogs. "that's dumb, that's racist, that's homophobic, that's truther, truther again, that's dumb, that's 10000 words of fanfic threesomes involving yourself, wayne lapierre, charlton heston and a double gauge shotgun with a larp dragon dildo attachment, that's an american history x reenactment" etc etc. It's clear this guy doesn't know the damage he does to himself by being so open.

the alternative is fawning over some milquetoast twitter personality lecturing linus on how to tone down his language to the point where terrible commits are rewarded with an 'every participant gets an award' approach. instead of keeping people vigilant of code smells, you're instead wanting to make the linux community a safe space filled with puppies, play doh and poo poo code.

lmao if you think code quality and rear end in a top hat behavior are related. you can easily reject a patch on technical merits without being a dick about it. I see this every day from professional organizations that operate constructively.

Yeah, in professional environments they wouldn't call sometime out in public, they'd just quietly reassign them to a project where they don't get in the way. Like maintaining the very important jargon file.
