Large legacy projects are where LLMs are the worst, historically. And I suspect the hard part of Linux isn't typing things, and that the rigorous spec required to get an LLM to generate the correct code is basically the code itself. I'm reminded of some of the coding stories at NASA where there'd be a ton of discussion for just a few lines of code. And the space shuttle code was apparently some of the most defect-free coffee ever written.
