He stopped being such an ass around 2018 or so. Wound up issuing an apology and changed his ways. He's been fairly levelheaded since. Nice to see people are able to change.

Having kids can do that to you.

He changed his behavior around that time with professional help, I don't think children were the key reason - though maybe what set the stone rolling.

It was a series of incidents, including a scheduling conflict between annual Linux meet and his vacation. I remember reading a detailed article on it. Couldn't find it now.

The version I heard, the big change was motivated by his daughter. But, honestly, I'm not much of a celebrity follower, and my awareness is really peripheral.
