A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Don't forget about Madisons accusations

Sorry, but I didn't see anything she posted that really has merit in this discussion. It's from one junior, inexperienced ex-employee, and most of what she said is just normally "unhappy employee" stuff.

Anything of value that she mentioned is already covered by other sources, most notably the video GN showed with LMG employees and Linus himself saying their pace is too fast.

Edit: I took the time today to properly read her entire thread and I changed my mind. There's a lot here that is very concerning and deserving of investigation.

I've pointed out in another comment that most of what she says are indicators of an incredibly toxic working environment, but I'd have to echo the sentiment that a good chunk of it is disgruntled, relatively inexperienced, employee grumbling.

Props on her for speaking up, though. Nothing changes if the status quo is toxicity and silence.

For sure! I hope nobody took either of our comments as dismissive of a victim or not believing what she shared.
