      I talk a lot about how you can’t be a great developer without great communication skills, but I don’t think people grok how _directly_ your communication skills are reflected in your codebase. Let me give you an example.

      I like the threeeaaaddd, but it’s so long isn’t ironic you talk about hard to read code and need so long to make your point :-)

      Some points are subtle and take a lot of words to explain well. You can't tl;dr subtlety. Also, code has multiple paths and this thread has only one: statement; statement; statement; etc

      Sometimes I wish I could downvote tweets. You can’t distill every message to a TL;DR; without losing meaning and context. The point she was trying to make genuinely seems difficult to get across in a single sentence.

      hah, would you rather not be heard on the internet, or be heard being an asshole on the internet?

      Torvalds has acknowledged his communication issues and is seeking help. There are many stories about it, eg.https://www.newyorker.com/science/elements/after-years-of-abusive-e-mails-the-creator-of-linux-steps-aside …

      The thing is - just because someone has been an asshole on the Internet doesn't automatically discredit the intelligent things they have said.

      Yes it does. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ See also: RMS, aka the whole reason the free software movement remains marginalized even among engineers

      I think that's a fallacy. It might make them unpopular but it doesn't automatically turn everything they said to dust. Regarding RMS - "even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day".

          I'm in no way defending anything in particular RMS or Linux have said, by the way. And actually my original point re: subtlety stands independent of either of those two characters. Sometimes a long post is the only way to communicate a subtle idea.
