Pretty weak FP there, but the vacuous Subject worked well enough to apparently span half of the large discussion. I'm also struggling to see the funny.

That's something no one should do today (or any time in the last 20 years or so), but it was commonly necessary when writing C++ in the 90s.

I get the wish to avoid changing your process, and Iâ(TM)m sure Linus puts a lot of thought into how he does things, but I think heâ(TM)s very likely yelling and shaking his fist at the clouds here.

I think anyone whoâ(TM)s worked in a professional setting is going to know the value of code review. Having a tool that can easily give you an extra, high quality code review is incredibly useful.

Surely the code you write is better

We could have been working for the last decade or 3 to make this a great country to have and raise children

Think of it this way if millions of construction workers existed -- all willing to work for $1 an hour .. everyone could live in a mansion because the cost of building a home would be so low. Even the construction worker would be able to afford themselves a mansion as well.

Moreso than you.

Obviously not, since they don't know how to write code quickly without bugs.

And neither do you.
