if Linus, who has worked with the language AND the project for decades, can’t find a race condition and a performance regression in his VERY FIRST LLM-assisted commit, then just maybe we should accept that humans are fucking horrible att catching the mistakes that clankers make and stop deluding us into thinking that this is the future of software engineering.

Ok. Looks like the process just needs to do more testing/validation in CI. What’s your alternative? just stop progress here? No more new thighs?

What makes you think he wouldn’t have made the same mistake hand coding it? If he didn’t catch it on his own review the likelihood that he would’ve made the same mistake if he coded it himself is high.

“Skill issue” was a dumb argument for pushing against rust, and it’s still a dumb one now. There are plenty of reasons not to want LLMs in the Linux kernel, no need to make Linus sound like some godlike entity who’s never written buggy code before LLMs
