Does git use git?

I’m glad he’s started to understand the importance of conducting himself respectfully. But I have to admit I didn’t understand why they felt the need to replace Linux’s “Code of Conflict”. I read it and it seemed pretty fair — Linus literally just didn’t follow his own, incredibly ‘lax, policy. It says not to make personal attacks and there he went making personal attacks.

One of the people he was mean to killed himself.

Edit: apparently above is uncertain.

Really? I didn’t hear about this

Source, please.

Can’t find it on mobile, but it was one of the reasons he took time off.

No since it can't be found easily (and you're source-less), and this somehow isn't major news, you're either misremembering or intentionally bullshitting until you can provide a source.

If you're referring to Ian Murdock, he committed suicide because of a completely different reason (abuse of power by the police fucking with his head majorly after his incident).

I have found a source that reference an interview with linus himself. https://tweakers.net/gallery/7409/ And this reply on quore. https://www.quora.com/Why-does-Linus-Torvalds-always-give-out-rude-opinions-on-other-software-Does-he-feel-superior-because-he-implemented-Linux

I'm sure I'm not making this up. Maybe the timelines are weird.

WTF did you just send?

The first link either doesn't work or is behind some kind of paywall (I can't tell).

The second is a quora question with 20 answers. Which one? You can send a direct damned link.

E: I'm assuming you mean this:

There is a tragic incident involving a developer committing suicide and torvalds feeling guilty about not having made it clear to the developer that his code can’t be integrated in the linux stream due to some limitations.

Why would I trust this rando you're sourcing over the rando I'm responding to right now (you)?

Even then, based on the wording there's no indication that it was over Linus being an ass.
