About the article
Every few months, Linus Torvalds gets called out for "being an arsehole to newbies", or "having a bad attitude", or "not presenting a friendly face for the software community". It's been a couple of weeks since the last time (damnit, Linus!), so I think it's safe to make this post now without it being seen as a continuation of whatever conversation that was.
