it always gives me pause to see well known kernel maintainers take such seemingly knee jerk reactions.
when a someone like a script kiddie does it, it doesn't matter; but I wonder when a kernel maintainer does it and i think i'm afraid to learn that the impetus and the thought process for both are the same.
One good thing about the last 3 years is that it has made me stop putting people on a pedestal and imagining them as more "advanced".
At the end of the day we're all just slophogs
Yeah, we need to stop doing that. I'm so sick of coders that act like they're big brain geniuses because society put their profession on a pedestal for the last decade or so
