You’re generalizing expectations for an average human and trying to apply it to an human with extraordinary responsibilities.

It takes an incredibly strong hand to lead a team whose product is the operating system of most of the Internet.

Do you think Jobs, Bezos, or Gates would say, “Hey guy. I respect you, man, and you write great code. I think we should work together to solve this. Are you cool with that? Maybe we can grab a latte.”

No, they didn’t do that shit.

Pretending you’re their HR manager and get to tell them what’s acceptable doesn’t make you equal or better than them. People have faults, but you can’t get on your high horse picking on them when you’re using their shit everyday.
