We're getting closer to "How Google got me fired for the 532 bugs it found in my code..." EDIT: It was meant as a joke as to how media manages to make something that's good into a problem.

Is this a joke, or a true objection to improving the kernel?

  It's a joke, I welcome our robot overlords.

    Sounds like you are still unhappy about a tool finding bugs.

      I use linters and having an ML one that can find even more difficult ones are more than welcome. As long as they are done locally and not sending source code to Google.

        What is sending which code to Google? It is a fricking open source analyzer.

In any decent organisation, a bug that goes out to live isn't the developer who wrote the codes fault. It's a team fault, meant that maybe the PO didnt spec correctly, then the developer implemented something wrong, then this was missed in the code review, then missed in team testing, then missed in testing before going live. Missed in the PO sign off before live... If anything I would hope that stuff like this by Google helps to encourage orgs to build better processes. If you succeed as a team, you fail as a team. No scapegoats!

  Depends. What if you represented yourself as the multithreading expert and were hired for that reason? The buck needs to stop somewhere.

  > In any decent organisation Yes, and in my physics classes I learned a lot about spherical, frictionless cows in a perfect vacuum. In the real world, the shape of cows is not a sphere, nor even a closed-form equation. And real organization care about blame, and as the saying goes, shit rolls downhill.
