- 10 years old video, from 2015
- Already explained why he was that way: some guy worked for months on a patch to send it to Linus… and when Linus didn’t think it was good enough, simply ignoring the guy… the guy killed himself.
- In 2018, he also took some time off to work on his leadership style.
Key takeaways:

- People can change over time.
