Villains Among Thieves :
Abstraction isn’t cheating

There's a lot of code being written, committed, and pushed to prod without being reviewed. Pretty sure that's what he's talking about.

Are you saying a compiler is not predictable and it hallucinates?

DailyFailure :
I love using AI to code, but you have to go line by line and understand every call. The amount of "oops good catch" I get proves this point.

Compiler is deterministic, ais not. However i do agree with certain sentiments here. I have ai write the code but then i will review it.

i don't think an AI should be compared to a compiler or code editor. they are tools with usually predictable outcomes. AI is way less predictable. 2 prompts different people could spit out wildly different results.

Anyone not using AI will be cooked.

It sounds like a valid point, but an compiler and integrated development environment don't replace the human aspects of what is being done, the compiler doesn't decide what methods you call, what you refer to as your variables, or what strings you define, the IDE can help find typo errors and broken loops, but you're still responsible for knowing what works and what doesn't, the IDE isn't going to just make code work. AI, however, does replace the human aspect of coding, the AI decides what methods are called, the AI decides what variables are referred to as, the AI decides how to fix broken code, the dangerous thing about that is if you didn't write it, it's going to be difficult to understand the codebase, so if there's a vulnerability or error in the codebase, you're in a much worse position to handle it if it was vibe coded, especially so as the codebase gets larger and larger. Not every project needs a high level of scrutiny, but AI is not even close to being the same kind of tool a compiler or editor, and drawing that comparison is literally just a psyop

I see the copium in the comments. Unfortunately, Linus is right. 10 yrs from now this is a silly argument to the scale of what we'll build. Things we build now will be considered the same as complaining about manually building each block of a pyramid and complaining about new fangled pullys. It's not about the purity of having a human look at lines of code. We will scale into trillions of lines of code. Building applications at a scale never seen before, never even possible before. It's not about copying what humans do by hand now. It's about building things humans never could before

Time Traveller :
so what's the point of having contributers ? can't he just ask for feature requests and clause or other coding ai just implement it ??

AI is a tool , a tool is only good as the one using it .

not the same thing. libraries are compileds are deterministic. no ambiguity. english prompts given to an llm is not .

you shouldnt get it to write everything you do its should help with boring shit or bug fixes not write entire files from scratch

You’re missing it. You’re teaching an entire new population of people how to code. You’ll get a lot of garbage from it but you’ll also get some brilliant things. This is just how systems work in general

so make ai write in assembly?

kyleshevlin :
There are 2 problems. The first is quantity. We weren’t meant to be trying to review this amount. It’s unreasonable. Second, we’re not going to produce enough people who can read code to do these reviews because they aren’t coding anymore.

The AI code is so much better than anything I would write. Also I gives you much more time for testing.

That is nice. Why we need ai to write the code when we can back in time fight with errors for 3 days and ask on forums how to fix it [Tears of joy]

AI also doesn’t write code like you might think. It’s not creative, it’s representative of other solutions. This means AI is just as flawed as the developers feeding it samples.

There is no way Linus Torvalds made that stupid comparison.
