First, that RSI cap is 100% valid. My previous CTO was canned not to long ago and they were fairly salty about the whole situation and he contributed many years to the organization I work for so please try not to be hyerbolic with your examples. Nothing within that post was vitriolic nor was it condescending.
Second, I didn't see any negativity in that other cap. What I read was a discussion between two adults. I think you're making a mountain out of a ant hill. Better yet this is more along the lines of condemning a community for the actions of a few. Gee, I wonder where else in life people do this....?
Now have some posted inappropriate comments to this gentlemen, yes; do I detest those comments, yes; do they have every right to say those comments, 100% absolutely yes; are these comments representative of the overall community, NO.
And you really think I care how someone runs their own company or that I have any power to change that? So long as there is progress and people aren't leaving in mass droves, I could care less how CRoberts manages or micro-manages his teams. If the employees are staying in this purported toxic environment, that is completely on them and I have very little sympathy for people who stick around places they despise. These, for lack of a better term, disgruntled employees could easily stand by their principles and look for another job/piece out of there.
Now would I do or say some of the stuff he has purportedly said/done, no I wouldn't but I'm smart and sensible enough to know that my perspective and/or opinions has zero influence. So instead of wasting time and energy harping on something I have no control over, I spend my time and energy on things I like to do like play video games, learn new languages or read books.
