as a person, hes supremely loathable. hes long since stopped coding and now hes just gobshiting. im not saying you have to stop admiring him

Have you...worked in software before?

His skills are applied to being essentially the product manager of the Linux kernel, just like any other senior engineer of his age and experience.

It's better that he not write code because he can have greater impact steering the direction of the kernel and reviewing others' work.

I'm also not sure why you don't like the guy on such a personal level. He only made Linux and git because he didn't have an alternative that worked for him. What did he ever do to you?

I watched the video of him hanging out with Linus from Linux Tech Tips and I thought he seemed like a relatively personable guy. Maybe he's somewhat opinionated on technology and wrote an angry email or two but certainly not a bad person.

what about him is supremely loathable? that he doesn't code?
