    Dude merges in code into the kernel originating from how many thousands of developers from around the world?

    Read the LKML if you think he’s a guy that’s prone to getting comfy with merging in sub-par code.

      oh he’s quick to put the brakes on other PR’s including slop code.

      https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/linux-lays-down-the-law-on-ai-generated-code-yes-to-copilot-no-to-ai-slop-and-humans-take-the-fall-for-mistakes-after-months-of-fierce-debate-torvalds-and-maintainers-come-to-an-agreement

      which makes me wonder how long until he’s comfy and forgets sometimes the slop comes from inside the building lol.
