I’m hopeful that an experienced CEO taking over will help a lot with dealing with those issues. Linus has been burned out for a really long time, and it shows. His reaction is the one of a stressed person just blowing up and going defensive. He’s probably well aware that there’s problems and he’s unable to deal with it. We’ve known about that particular problem for 3 years.

It’s grown well past the tech bros stage but still operates like a tech bros startup. The new CEO will hopefully run it like the media company it became, whether Linus likes it or not.

Great reporting as usual from Steve from Gamer’s Nexus for exposing all of this.
