This is the guy who accidentally forced the creation of git, by reverse engineering the BitKeeper protocol and getting all the Linux kernel developers' licenses revoked. Chaotic Good energy.

Interesting. I've been waiting for some context to this. Btw Brodie Robertson made a Youtube video yesterday, scrolling through the issue tracker and untangling some of the drama. Here's the link for people who like to consume their Linux news in video form: https://youtube.com/watch?v=FLCfRs6nKW8

On the one hand, using a language learning model to interpret and modify a programs code language seems like a no brainer. On the other hand, we have mountains of evidence that suggest the technology hasn't been perfected.

Maybe, just maybe, a disclaimer is appropriate.

It's a fair point.

I've had diverse success using llm for coding.

For simple things and basic questions it has worked. For anything complex. It has been a complete failure.

But I've never used a paid tool, most of the time I just use self hosted LLMs. But, to be honest, I don't think the paid tools are that much better.

But if someone knows how to use it better. And assumes responsibility for checking the code, I'm ok with it.

It's just a tool like many others, it can be usedfor good or for bad.

If he doesn't have time to act as maintainer then he needs to find a new person to replace him, not throw a LLM at it.

I get for incredibly simple or tedious work but come on
