Your ego is showing. At some point you'll be the incompetent one in the room. Remember, when you're told to fuck off, it's cool as fuck.

While I don’t necessarily agree with the GP, there’s a huge difference between humble incompetence and arrogant incompetence. Everyone starts out incompetent, but that’s fine as long as they don’t repeatedly shove it on other people. Incompetence, without the self-awareness or humility to avoid wasting other people’s time? Maybe getting a verbal slap on the wrist is exactly what’s needed…

It may feel cool and that's probably all those bosses that keep threatening to fire their employees think, too.

It works for Linus because of special circumstances that are not easily replicated.

First, Linus is the creator of the project. He is also competent AF (borrowed your jargon here).

Second, people understand Linus is doing this solely out of care for the project. If you look at history of his outbursts you will notice a pattern.

Third, Linus tends to be right.

Fourth, Linus has and had since almost very beginning celebrity status and people tend to approve of eccentric behavior of celebrities more.

Fifth, Finns are blunt seemingly as a matter of national identity, and so in that sense Linus isn't even very remarkable.

Maybe that's a sign that you are an incompetent team member and communicator.
