False dichotomy.
Your subpar ability to understand that the self fellating anger in that email is in no way something that generates quality and standards says much more about the decline to mediocrity.
So you are saying personal offenses and coleric bosses are required to deliver quality?
How does screaming and shouting like a little kid in a temper tantrum increase quality?
If you need to resort to personal offenses to get your point across, you are either lacking a good point, communication skills or respect.
And behaving like a toddler tends to make people really respect you, right?
Nonsense. It's simply that that kind of conduct is deeply unprofessional and reflects poorly on Linus. He could have said the exact same things about the issues with that patch without the obscenities and personal attacks.
I've worked as a software team lead for nearly 30 years, you do not get the best out of people by belittling and berating them.
