Linus be like:

  • "I only care about the final results and the correctness"
  • Me looks inside
  • Final results are shit and code is just slop

Ahhh, I love AI and Linus and how they're enshittifying everything /s

Seriously, how would anyone in their right mind think that AI can be used responsibly? The only acceptable level of AI use is zero or a negative number.

Linus Torvalds says AI is a great way to find joy in programming, when used responsibly

Yes.

I know how my tools work to some degree. I know when they get dull, become inefficient, and need sharpening, or grease, or cleaning.

Because of that i can sometimes appraise alternative and new versions' advantages and disadvantages, and choose (with at least a semi-informed judgement) when an upgrade might be worth more than the transition/investment/retraining cost. I've got it wrong some times, and learned from those mistakes. I get better at managing risks with them.

Some jobs i just know I'd better sharpen them more oftten, i can plan for that. I know how to maintain and even improve them. I can sometimes adapt them, or complementary systems, to make them better at specialised purposes.

I mostly own them, especially the ones that i cherish; I have an incentive to maintain, upgrade and make complementary investments.

I'm sure someone can do all that stuff with AI; but not me, so it's not a tool to me. Some of my tool requirements seem to be very far out of reach.
