I strongly dislike the spin of the headline – „Linus told a Google engineer that…” as opposed to „Linus told a developer that…”.

What is the headline implying? That Google engineers are gods? That Google engineers don’t make mistakes?

Also, reading through the code, Linus does have a point. I’m with Linus on this one.

It's the first sentence of the tweet. The engineer Linus emailed is also the Chair of the UNIX-Class Platform Specification. Anyway, the point is to discuss why Linus thinks his code is garbage, not the tweet's title.
