  When Linus says he was joking, he doesn't mean he didn't believe what he was saying.  He absolutely did.  He just means he tried to phrase his thoughts in the funniest way he could think of.

  Linus is a guy who expects a trade of insults.

  I will say, when Linus said &quot;he was being honest&quot;, he wasn&apos;t backpedaling, it&apos;s just how it is.<br>In Finland, unless you&apos;re in a <i>very</i> formal setting, if you do a shit job, be prepared for your job to be cursed at.

  There are two respects here. Respect as a person, and respect as a software developer. You can absolutely tell someone their code sucks ass and needs to be fixed without saying you&apos;re surprised they made it to adulthood.

  I had two tech leads when I first started in code, one was super nice and respectful.He took the time to explain and made sure everything was being made correctly. The other one was an abrasive dick who liked to make you feel like shit for a simple mistake. Both were good coders, but I consider the nice one as the best teacher I had and I still think about the things he taught me. The mean guy left the company short after and I was so relieved.

  Lack of respect is different from disrespect. You don’t have to respect someone, but that doesn’t mean they deserve active disrespect.

  You nailed it with approaching everyone with dignity but leaving respect to be earned.
