Re: I wonder why?
Whilst I agree that most people will turn away for fear of being treated like shit, on the other hand though, for the more thick skinned amongst us, kernel development is just obscure.
As a somewhat aged techie myself, I can understand where his anger comes from and why younger techies might see it as just raw aggression.
Id love to be able to develop at the kernel level, but the resources to learn are scarce and generally impenetrable.
I've written code for over 20 years in various different languages but wouldn't know where to begin with kernel hacking.
