Linus: People take me much too seriously, I can’t say stupid crap anymore

As we know, Torvalds late last year took a short break from leading Linux kernel development to take stock of his infamous outbursts and reflect on how his language and behavior affected other kernel developers. The interviewer, Red Hat co-founder Robert Young, who interviewed Torvalds for the Linux mag 25 years ago, said some people appreciate Torvalds’ “willingness to call a spade a spade” in Linux debates, while others dislike his brash style. After Torvalds stepped down last October, the New Yorker posted its story about questions it had previously been asking him about claims he’d discouraged women from working on the Linux kernel.
