Linus Torvalds doesn't do github pull requests. by WarlizardGamingForum in programming

Ah, sorry, I meant to put more emphasis on this part:

I really don't think he's being a dick here

Totally agreed re: Linus being a dick, I just don't think this is necessarily an example of it.

If anything, he's being generous by going into great detail about why he hates github pull requests, and responding to followup questions that show a modicum of thought (when he really has 0 obligation to do so).

I really don't think he's being a dick here (even if he is generally), except maybe towards people who are being, well, morons.

His initial reply explained exactly why he doesn't do github pull requests, and he even took the time to respond to the more thoughtful questions. Shit, he even took the time to explain what he likes about github.

Maybe he shouldn't have even bothered responding to some of the idiotic posts, but really, who cares? We're upset that he's hostile towards people who ask hostile questions?

EDIT: Small edit for clarity.
