    Can’t help but laugh at you guys correcting literally the #1 software maintainer in the world. AI is just a tool - if you fail then it’s a skill issue.

      It’s fine to see Linus as a demi-god amongst programmers, but to think whatever he says is indisputable is just foolish.

      It turns out I agree with his point-of-view here, but his is not the only valid one, and there is no way to evolve arguments and ideas without challenging them.

        The problem is that the arguments against Linus are laughable at best and utterly idiotic at worst.

        AI right now is just a tool just like a compiler is. The fact that it’s not deterministic is absolutely meaningless when code can be test gated and implementation validated by humans.

      Linus is well-known for edgy and controversial points. He’s undoubtedly a great programmer, but ultimately, he’s human.
