Yeah. If I had to pick literally one single human to read through 100,000 lines of bullshit PRs and firmly reject the bad ones, well, Linus has spent the majority of his “development” time doing that for 30 years now. And he’s not especially shy about rejecting bad code. (By which I mean mainstream media was starting to write about his rejections, and so he was sent for remedial social skills training.)
So just to troll a bit, my new position on this issue is that only Linus should be allowed to use LLMs. I trust Linus to read the code and tell Claude what he really thinks.
And the code he has to review is not even a product of human decision making half of the time, it is often a product of corporate politics, and corporate politics is neither less alien nor more aligned with humans than LLMs!

– This is utter garbage, whatever inferred that moronic code should get its weights checked.
– You’re absolutely right !
