Some thing can happen in spite of things, instead of because of them.

Some people link Job's success to his attitude. But his attitude didn't make him successful, it was his vision and ability to convince people.

That said, I think Linus is fairly professional in the core of his communication. Just because you swear doesn't mean that the message you're passing along isn't.

His attitude played a major role in his ability to convince people. And it is way more time efficient to be rude sometimes, so he had more time to worry about important stuff.

I know what you mean, but you writing "Job's" (as in the biblical character) instead of "Jobs'" gives this post an interesting angle.
