Did the headline change? The current headline is Torvalds: “100% of Their Code is Written by Compilers” Too

The title of this post makes for a dumb headline, at any rate. Linus, in response to claims in the industry that projects are now “99% written by AI”, drew an analogy to compilers by saying that all machine code for projects are written by compilers, yet no one says their project was 100% written by a compiler. It’s just talking about stupid hype, which is valid.

That being said, it’s still quite unfortunate that Linus has fallen into the trap of LLMs.
