It absolutely is. It's not the place to learn the basics obviously, but members need to learn what is expected of them, just like on any other team/organization.
Linus's outbursts absolutely hinder growth. He's lucky that his project has become so important and people will work on it regardless, but he and the Linux kernel would have been better off if he was wasn't driving people away as much as he was.
If they don't know what is expected of them or think they'll get by with shit code then I think it's fairly understandable to tell them to at least lurk moar.
I'm just worried with him gone if shitty code and practises will seep in.
There are projects out there with excellent practices with a good culture surrounding quality where people aren’t told to kill themselves. There are other ways to establish that culture and set high expectations.
No doubt, but I can't say I much disagree with his sentiment about requiring sudo password for connecting to a wifi.
