No, it isn't. It's the difference between "this code is bad" and "you are bad".

It's the difference between "I work at Intel/AMD/Microsoft, so u can't say that my programs sucks." and "This programs doesn't work propley, it sucks."

Saying "this code doesn't work correctly and here's why and how" is literally the point of code review and testing. I'm really not sure what your point is...

The point is: i can't say "It sucks." Neither if it's true. I can't say "How the fuck u work in a leader corporate, and u write a shit like this??" I can't give my real opinion.

Neither of those is even remotely constructive, and neither will lead to a better patch coming your way. Try "this patch has serious issues that need to be fixed before I can look at merging it", or asking them to get a review from another developer first.

Bullshit. Truth is truth. If you tell the truth, no matter how painful to the hearer, the software world will be a better place. Software is built on code, not compassion.

To be clear: I'm NOT saying it should be presented in an abusive manner. But it must be presented. And even if it's mean and undiplomatic, it still must be said.

And even if it's done in a really sociopathic way (which I very much do not recommend), it's still "productive", because it improves the code. My point isn't about political or other "correctness". It's about code. Because ultimately... it's about code.

(To clarify: in no way do I condone such behavior. I'm simply trying to stress that IT'S NOT ABOUT PEOPLE.) Yes, we should treat people well. That has nothing to do with code.

If the goal is code, people's feelings must take a back seat. Period. Linus has been a VERY good arbiter of code (though I wish he had not bent to pressure over systemd). The people who exert pressure are culpable. They are not friendly community members. They have an agenda.

The Free Software Foundation and Linux Foundation have code and kernel hacks as goals. Intel, AMD, Microsoft and similar have just $$$ as goal. It's not important how. Neither with a trojan as CoC.
