I still find it astonishing how much unprofessionalism there is in the
Linux development scene, even at the highest levels.

Just read the cringe language used in the *official* Linux kernel coding
style guideline page:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/coding-style.html

(I'm not talking about the coding style itself, but the explanatory text.)

This kind of unprofessional language and attitude would have been
understandable in the 1990's, when Linux was just a really small hobby
project used by only a handful of people.

It's significantly less understandable today, when Linux is one of the most
if not the most used operating system in the world, used in and by extremely
large institutions and international corporations, and people who contribute
to its kernel code include giant tech megacorporations.

Just imagine doing business with a giant corporation, and using language
like that. It's astonishingly unprofessional and cringe.
