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.

Oh yes, but any experienced professional will have developed (consciously or subconsciously) methods for maxxing out whatever metric is being used to evaluate them. Lines of code, whatever. If you are evaluated on LoC I recommend double-spacing.

The difference between the "hacker" (MIT definition) and the professional is revealing. Each is trying to write code that maximizes the perceived requirement. The hacker making the code elegant (in this case, brief), and the professional maximizing LoC.

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.

That's an irritating way to say you disagree with him. Just give your counter-argument, don't insult him.

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.

Are you trying to make the point that AI easily gives you high quality code reviews? It's not clear what your point is or why you don't like Linus.

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.

I can't figure out how you calculated this at all. It doesn't make sense mathematically.

COSMIC is new(ish) and wants to make a splash. So they are trying to quickly get their design goals and feature parity as fast as possible. That's going to introduce new bugs, a compromise they were willing to make.

Nah, they just don't know what they are doing. They are code monkeys, not software engineers.

Bugs take a lot longer to fix the more you delay.
