The person on the video. I'm not sure what you mean by the question. The video begins with frustration over others opinions with wrong facts. I think the way it was handled is not very good. The few minutes in the beginning of the video. I'm still watching the rest right now.

I disagree, but that may be because I'm used to how Tantacrul videos go.

He's usually sassy like this, and the Weaver Beats video was made in bad faith.

I expect class from Idris Elba, not from the guy running a contentious open source project.

If anything, this is the upper end of what I expect from open source leadership.

The rest of the video is actually pretty good. And as said, the reaction in the beginning is totally understandable. But the way he narrated and presented the beginning part is not what I like. In one part he even zoomed in to the teeth part of the guy. Really, this looked like someone is angry at typical YouTube bullshit.

But, you know, I'm personally sassy like this too in forums. But I'm also not a leader of a project of this size. I really disliked that portion of first 4 minutes or so and even if its only that much, it sticks with me as first impression.

Yea, the teeth bit was mean spirited and unnecessary.

I don't mind sass from leadership. It's leagues better than sanitized corpo-speak.

Sass doesn't have to be mutually exclusive from professionalism, but it is a fine line to walk.
