the over-my-dead-body resistance to the adoption of rust and the lack of resistance to the adoption of LLMs leaves me with the sense that the linux kernel was never in good hands
@JamesWidman Fully agree. I always looked at Linus as the person with the most soft power, and saw he was completely dysfunctional as a leader in that aspect, and somehow he was able to continue leading.
The bro-yness of open source and exclusion of queer people and women I feel led to this predicament, because men in tech tend to be so woefully underdeveloped socially they simply do not have comprehension of what it takes to build something BOTH technically and socially.
