Linus Tech Tips: There was a recent thing from a major tech company where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote, and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here who was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity because it means nothing.
Linus Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset at that point. That’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.
LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?
Linus Torvalds: No.
LTT: Oh. Uh… he was a prominent figure in the improved efficiency of the U.S. Government recently.
Linus Torvalds: Oh, apparently I was spot-on.
In the US, ICE is now detaining native Americans and accusing them of being someone who does not belong.
You read that right: The immigrants are attempting to deport the natives, accusing them of being immigrants.
If this was a movie script it would be rejected for lack of realism.

Certain models of Lenovo laptops now ship with Fedora and Ubuntu Linux. This is done to keep costs low and cater to developers or IT professionals who heavily rely on Linux. Another reason could be the increased unpopularity of Windows 11 in recent times due unwanted features like "AI" or "Recall", but that is just my own wild guess ;) LOL. Would you buy it?
