The subtitle should be "absolutely fucking nothing"

Maybe instead of Torvalds taking lessons on how to be less of an asshole, he should be teaching developers how to be more like him.

He's doing the right thing and softening his responses to be more welcoming to new contributors, but it's still totally understandable when any open source dev loses patience. We have thousands of requests coming at us from all angles and no one has infinite patience.

I always admire the people taking a lot of their free time to do something beneficial for the community.

Be it as a maintainer, a small basketball coach. a village politician.

I’ve always thought about one day giving back everything I’ve received like that, but I haven’t done yet. Right now I have excuses with a difficult parental situation, but there has been many moments where I could and I just haven’t.

So congratulations and thanks to the ones doing it 👍

Going to throw in Open source is not about you as a relevant related read.

Well written, it would deserve a separate post.

Every open source software has a maintainer. In case of it being maintained by 'community', it is maintained by a person who pretends all are included.
