From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Programmers already spend about as-much of their time, if not more, reading other's code as they do writing their own.

And how is this an argument in favor of AI code? If 5-10 percent of you job used to be writing code and now you dropped it by half, that's not very effective of optimization. Especially if the code you now have to review takes more time to review due to it being generated by AI.

and its clear you have negligible programming experience, or creative experience for that matter, to be coming after the concept of sharing code like-so.

As someone with several years of experience as a programmer: fuck off with this elitist nonsense

Why would you let keeping-up with AI code cut-into the amount of time you spend writting code? Your conflating Torvalds being okay with/allowing programmers using a tool PROPERLY with Amazon, Meta, Google, Microsoft and their ilk shoving it down everyone's throats, proper usage be damned.

Well said. Bit of a Straw Man, there.
