The company is doing very well now and they know that it is all thanks to the AI data center build out. Their manager and leadership want them to use it. If the bubble pops, their stock based compensation becomes worthless. Their colleagues

I just wanted to bring up that it's AI companies (which all computer hardware companies are now) that develop the kernel. In that light 17.25% is actually a tiny share of commits to be written by the Machine God.

The pressure to use LLMs is high in the companies that sell shovels in this gold rush. It would look bad if they did not use them. Linux developers work at those companies.

What do you say to your boss if they ask why your colleague is producing 10-100x the kloc as you?

Maybe if you only use the LLM to proof read or something? I don't know if LLMs are actually any good for this purpose, but it's something I came to think of when trying to answer your question. I do think that it is very difficult

Crypto guys are in the business of grifting magic beans to rubes. They are mostly interested in the aesthetics of these technologies. Using an academic programming language gives these scientific magical vibes and such that make people beli

I believe a lot of the enthusiasm we had at the start of the smartphone age is also now gone. The phone is now a boring device made for scrolling and running apps that are mandatory to participate in modern society.
