A Case Study in Not Being a Jerk in Open Source

This "Linus is a jerk" meme is old and tired.

The moral-superiority bullies are jerks too.

Same as people who use their position to push their politics.

Maybe we should all just be adults and focus on the work.

Read the article. The rewritten email was focused on the work. But Linus's email was mostly focused on humiliating a contributor.

So it is Linus who is not being an adult.
