Things have taken a bad turn for Bcachefs as Linux supremo Linus Torvalds is not happy with their objections.
Anyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like “Torvalds Drops support After Clash!”
EDIT: New rule?
I’m really glad Torvalds is the kind of person to flip articles like this off and carry on with his day and just not be affected by it at all. When the time comes, I hope whoever carries the torch is just as well.
That’s a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.
At the very least, it would be far more of a circus, as the follow-up articles would read “LINUX KERNEL CREATOR LINUS TORVALDS MAKES DEVESTATING REPLY TO FOSS DRAMA!”
But yeah, I think shit like that would just make devs want to go work for a company, because at least when they make a shitty closed sourced, exploitive program people are mad at the company, not them, specifically. They don’t have to deal with this shit.
I don’t see any drama. It’s just people working together, having different priorities yet still getting things done. Some friction is to be expected.
This is literally literally a drama article
Ok, my mistake. I didn’t express myself correctly. I wasn’t referring to the article but to the communication between developers.
Good for him. It’s a reminder that the rules apply to everybody.
Ah, sorry to read - I like the idea of Bcachefs and would have been happy to have it ready for production eventually.
OTOH it seems the recent years I read more about the drama about Bcachefs commits to the kernel, than about any technical parts of Bcachefs.
Can’t wait for a new Brodie-video on this topic. Stay tuned for some comments.
Good I didn’t choose bcachefs
