    I’ve seen that kind of thing out of Linus Sebastian too, with the infamous 30 day Linux challenge, and I remember when they took a young woman on their staff who was there as I think a graphic designer and they had her spec out and build a PC with no coaching.

    Chin first no reading no help no think only send. Color me not impressed.

    Do things like that, but have someone experienced do some coaching.

      And of course I know why Linus does that. Rage bait gets clicks and engagement online. Tale as old as time. But it definitely makes for terrible content for people like us who actually value the technical accuracy.
