AI isn’t perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the
problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at
themselves at the same time.
I will never use AI unless I am paid to like I currently am. I am not a worse developer for it. I have been learning software engineering continuously my entire life. I am completely self taught for over a decade professionally and longer than that in my free time. I have no university degree. I grew up in poverty in nowheresville Kentucky.
I don’t need an LLM to learn or succeed. LLMs literally need people like me. I am sad Linus cant see it that way, but never meet your heroes so they say. l
Facts. How good you are as a developer. Ai is a really useful tool. Especially the latest frontier models. I don’t like the companies behind them. But the models are very powerful.

I’m not sure you understood. That quote is defending against AI haters
No I think that quote is attacking AI haters. Hes saying the people who say ai code has issues should look in the mirror because so does theirs.
