Linus Torvalds shares his thoughts on Anti-AI coding rules on Linux mailing list. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=whTs09_ozN+e09GU68N1wPP56MUzDjrg9rnKxQUa0A_4Q@mail.gmail.com/ He is doubling down on AI. This will come back to bite him. He thinks people using LLMs for coding are actually checking their work 😂 Code reviewers are just rubber stamping PRs. Nobody in their right mind can look at 100s of PRs per day &d manually go through them especially since they don't even know if they'll have a IT job left at the end of the day. It's a race to the bottom now
