But you can be told you fucked up that badly without it being such a public spectacle and without trashing you as a person.
Very good point. Berating someone for making a mistake does not help either party. Even more so, when the one screaming doesn’t actually mention what went wrong, so you can correct it next time
E.g.
True.
Bet that dude never ever fucked up a file open error again, and never broke the user space lol
Yeah, maybe left kernal development (like Linus indicated he may have done to various people), maybe that person was traumatized. But alas, there's no other way to let a human being know they made a mistake without making exaggerated personal attacks.
Is/was there a lack of kernal devs?
They are literally interacting with the dudes life work, and apparently shitting on core rules. No surprise he got heated. It's not just a job to that dude, it's like he slapped his mother
All attacks were related.to the professional output (the code, and the ability to code)
Nah my man. No excuse to act like an ass like that; life's work or not. That's simply a sign of poor emotional maturity, and is (plain and simple) abusive behavior. People make mistakes, regardless of the severity of the mistake. Let's put it another way: would you be okay with someone talking to a child that way? If not, why is it okay to do so to an adult? Just because we're older, doesn't mean we deserve it.
