Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

That's a really good point. There's loads of examples of this, like doctors don't give good nutrition advice, et cetera.

He doesn't really need any latitude to offer an opinion on whether these tools should be used on the Linux kernel.

Whether you should use an LLM to plan your shopping list, or understand your toddlers behavior, is not something you should listen to Linus about.

    I mean he’s welcome to develop an LLM that is trained on only his own stuff and that doesn’t suck down water like a black hole. Until then he shouldn’t be offering opinions on using them at all, I don’t care if it’s in regard to the Linux kernel or not.

    Maybe my point with the nuclear bombs wasn’t clear enough. The nuclear engineer doesn’t get to decide to use a nuclear bomb, they get to use one tiny tiny little part. If they try to use a nuclear bomb we should all be stopping them, I don’t care how much they want to use it cause they think it’s a good tool. It’s provably horrific for humanity.
