Yes I’m disappointed in Linus. He does do windows propaganda though.

I bought the server hardware 3 years ago, so when the prices of ram were also fine. Today it’s not fun anymore… I really hope those ram and nvne prices go down again! I can’t upgrade anything now.

Fact. I only use more then 1gbit/s for file transfers internally between computers or between the server and a computer.

10gbit fiber locally doesn’t mean I have this speed to the internet (I’m not).

We used to need tools like Hamachi back in the days. And it was awful, didn’t work and caused me way too much headache

Third guilty pleasure is 10gbit/s fiber network at home.

A second guilty pleasure would be looking at my grafana dashboards.

Pushing my commits that trigger my own gitlab runners that build my c++ application across 32 cores/threads homelab server.

You call that good research? He should know better.

Linus isn’t the average Joe here. That is why people watch or even trust him wrt to technology to some regard.

Exactly he is just spreading fud due to his lack of research. I expect better from Linus here.

The only thing I expect from a big tech YouTuber like Linus is that he does good research.

Trusting a random person on reddit isn’t that. And he has a big audience of people who might also want to try Linux. However, this isn’t helping… I just expected better from him.

But Linus has a big audience and he knows that. He should have done this better instead of trusting a random reddit post and continue from there.

People also listen to him and try to also copy him. Since now people might also try Linux and the first distro might now be pop os.

Because of a random reddit post…

Also I can’t really answer the question if it’s bad or not what happens to ntfy.sh since it really depends on how the maintainer is using Ai here. Whether he did test the code, and read all the generated code.

Ai in itself isn’t the problem here.

Indeed also read the paper called Programming as Theory building. From 1985. Which is very relevant today again. Since people lose the connection with the code due to Ai.

You can run my text through Ai checkers if you wish. But it’s not Ai generated.

I’m not just on my own instance. I’m the creator of the software: Mbin. Previously known as kbin.

People need tldr today, due to TikTok. 😅

Haha. I’m not a native English speaker. But it’s not Ai generated.

I try to keep it common for general people to understand it. If you have follow up questions shoot. I have 25+ years of software engineering experience.

But my point is that developers can use Ai, Ai tools become much better for coding, as long as the developer still understands the code. Since some developers don’t even bother looking at the code anymore…

Ai can be powerful and destructive at the same time. (note: I didn’t use Ai to write this).

Ai coding can help a lot in accelerating software development. In the right hands that is. Meaning the software engineer still reviews the code. Test it. And takes responsibility. In those cases there is nothing wrong with using Ai for software development.

The problem is that some programmers are using AI without even looking at the end results. Just approves everything, commits, push and release. That approach is wrong and especially inexperience engineers might fail into this trap. So in this case the code has most likely a lot of duplicated code, full with bugs and other issues. Some issues you encounter it for the first time, since it wasn’t tested etc.

In the latter story, you feel the impact. And the downsides of Ai. And only see the negatives of Ai. You might say it’s Ai slop even. Or vibe coded. Which is correct.

Tldr: Ai can be very powerful in the right hands. It still requires a lot of human time and effort to get it correct. And if the engineer is too lazy then you feel the consequences. If you got an experienced software engineer that takes the responsibility of the code. Reviews it thoroughly. Test all corner cases, etc. Then AI can be powerful and helpful.

Yea I call it bad research. And Linus knows better!! He should take this more seriously than he did now. I don’t like this video.

Just install Linux today. Don’t wait.
