I get the feeling this is going to be pretty much impossible to fill but if there is any place that would be interested in hiring me for upstream kernel work and still be able to write the upstream display driver for nova, I would be really interested in hearing.
I'm more then happy to work on other areas of the kernel, and am flexible and have worked in plenty of other areas of linux desktops - mesa, wayland, weston, libinput, the X11 server, you name it! But being able to finish the work that i've started for nova would also be something I would be incredibly, incredibly greatful for.

he's finally free

@plexus amen. also, I mourn the loss of my hobby/life's work/literally burnt myself out of coming out of college to get into this position so I could actually have a job I was happy at. to stupid AI pushers: I have every god damn right to mourn it. I busted my ass to get here and people are just fucking destroying it.

I have to be real too - there was a short while where I was 'ok' with this "maybe we use the AI for documentation", but you know what? Screw it.
Of course users are angry at you and your project when they see an agents.md. It's insulting. It is telling your users you don't give a shit about them and you don't give a shit about your own work. People aren't going to bother to figure out if you are "only using it for documentation" because to be completely god damn honest, why should they care? We're looking at a software industry that is dead set on taking people's jobs, destroying creativity, and commoditization of basic fucking knowledge. This industry is constantly making shit worse for people, and we are constantly harassing people through the devices they use on a daily basis in a desperate attempt to make a quick buck.
The moment you touch AI, you are saying you're completely fine with throwing your reputation in the trash and that's completely fair.

again - if you hate your job so much, could you just go into a different career instead of trying to push genAI on people

I'll be honest I've definitely been really struggling this last week trying to figure out how to keep moving forward while trying to figure out how to tune out deskillers and it's getting hard man. I've never felt anxiety and this strong of a sense of dread for the industry I work in before. Genuinely feels like something I worked for years to be a part of and to be proud of got shitty the moment I finally started getting past my burnout.

@soverin this is concerning, the location of the netherlands is definitely not supposed to be in the middle of the ocean. Is everything OK over there?

Hey - please don't send LLM generated code to the LKML. come on y'all. Putting LLM generated code up for code review that you haven't looked at thoroughly already isn't asking for code review, it is offloading your work to someone else. If you feel like that's the only way you can actually save time with these tools, all that actually means is that you feel like you are saving time because you made someone else do the work in a way that wasn't obvious to either of you.
