    I especially like his most recent use of LLMs.

    Specifically as a threat to induce someone else to step up as a maintainer of the debug tool sparse.

      I’ve been in that position for something nowhere near as important as the Linux Kernel. It SUCKS. I don’t want an AI to take over, but I don’t blame him for wanting to step down.

      Great stuff, especially this part:

      But Bart, maybe you’d like a new hobby? Think of all the glory. People stopping you in the streets, asking you whether you’re the sparse maintainer and asking for selfies.

      You won’t be a rock star or an astronaut (or a fireman, or a dinosaur, or whatever you dreamt of being when you were a wee tyke), but it’s the closest us geeks will ever get.
