Better make an AI free fork of linux too then.

Can’t have all those fancy 7.0 changes in my kernel because some dev used AI to check his code formatting before submitting a PR. I’ll stick with my outdated fork thank you very much. Upstream fix for blatant CVE but the fix includes an AI comment? Nooooo thank you.

I mean its not like there’s a reject button for pull requests or anything. Anyone could just submit AI slop and we’d never know. Not even from the blatantly failing CI tests.

I think actually on the programming side, we’re in a fairly good spot. I really think that AI will be a tool and it will make people more productive. I think that vibe coding is great for getting into programming. I think it’s gonna be a horrible thing to maintain. So I don’t think programmers go away. You still want to have the people who know how to maintain the end result. I’m a huge believer in AI. I’m not a huge believer in the things going on around AI. I find the marketing and the market to be sick and twisted, and there is going to be a crash, and it’s gonna be ugly.

Vibe-coding =/= actual coding. He chewed out someone for committing code that was simply churned out by an AI without checking if it’s actually functional code.

Lemme try find his email…
