Linus Torvalds Working On A Hefty Linux Kernel Improvement With Claude Code

Torvalds is destroying linux. 😐

We need distinguish between master programmers who can evaluate AI-generated code and submit it for proper review, and first year interns being told to add 45 features to Friday’s update.

Good thing that pipeline of people isn’t under existential threat. If we get rid of all the interns, problem solved. AI can do that! /s

The mindset of programming is completly different than rubber stamping/tweaking slop… don’t know where they are going to get real developers in 20 years.

I look at it like COBOL coding. In 20 years they can call me out of retirement and pay me a boatload to maintain the garbage mess that is all that’s left.

Is there any amount of money that can unfuck a codebase after 20 years of rot?
