Feels like the ADHD (and maybe autism) play a good part in that.
My personal reviews from the school days were often like that: Not responding well to criticism.
Many assumptions, many ways but only a few will get it all back on track to being a trustworthy source.
And like you said: Linus needs to step back from being community feedback (lwt that the community manager handle) and let WAN show be a primarily tech talk focused live show with a community Q/A. Maybe let the CEO be a regular (once every X weeks) so community can give him targeted questions and let the other weeks be about the company/Linus/Luke/Dan and just a normal Q and A without the business talk.
If his disabilities is a hindrance to him being effective in his role at the company it is time to change roles.
A disability does not excuse this kind of behavior.
I wouldnt call it a disability as more of a handicap.
It's just that the communication may be different and that may be the reason he doubles down.
I am by no means a psychotherapist so my opinion should be taken as an atom of salt at best.
Fyi disability and handicap are interchangeable in this context.
Thanks for the information (sometimes I hate language).
Wasn't aware of it being the same in english nor my native language. You never stop learning, right?
Yeah, handicapped is the supposedly "polite" way to say disabled, but me and every other disabled person I've really talked to about it finds it rather patronizing tbh.
I like to describe myself as legally retarded, it makes people either laugh or get so awkward that I laugh.
That's a great attitude to have my man!
As someone who probably has undiagnosed ADHD/neurodivergence (based off first hand accounts from other people) I will agree.
I talk from personal experience. Many have said, that I supposedly retreat into my "snail house" when uncomfortable or (I assume) feel threatened in my position and become defensive instead of open to the criticism.
Maybe this trait is more common around ADHD/autism folks?
But well, assuming will not change anything and I am no psychotherapist...
