Re: Google's Pixel security team

I see you've either never been involved in software development or are one of those horrible toxic people who have been fired over and over. Almost no one can get away with being as rude as Torvalds is, the only reason he can is that basically no one can fire him.

Screaming at team members is never productive. What you do is calmly explain what people have done wrong. Software development is a group activity and you have to work to keep your team dynamic functional. One person publicly calling out others is not something that's productive.

What does this have to do with "inclusion" and "political correctness". It's not the message that's wrong, it's the delivery method. Someone does something stupid, you tell them, you explain why it's stupid, you don't scream at them from the rooftops (or the internet equivalent).
