Following arguments on the Linux kernel mailing list the past few days over some Linux kernel maintainers being against the notion of Rust code in the mainline Linux kernel and trying to avoid it and very passionate views over the Linux kernel development process, Asahi Linux lead developer Hector Martin has removed himself from being an upstream maintainer of the ARM Apple code.
It depends on how valuable your organization thinks you are; I used to work for a faang company and I got to experience this 2x and the person doing it faced no repercussions since they were well known rockstar software engineers.
Rock star devs are just devs that know the code so can do it faster, probably because they wrote it. Some just hack shit in.
No one is good enough to justify those behaviours.
