  1. And the S in LLM stands for security.

  2. 5:45 I interpret Linus's opinion here as "LLM can be a great code linter but you should assume its output as opinion about the code and then decide by yourself if you want to actually change the code". Though this obviously assumes that the developer skill issues are more about the accuracy of the implementation instead of overall algorithm or mis-understanding data structures or thread locking.

  3. 12:50 I totally agree that we don't have good enough tests. Show me a project that has good enough tests that mutation testing cannot find problems in the tests. I'll be waiting for a long time. (Tests should be thought as a validation for the actual implementation and mutation testing should be thought as a validation for the tests. Every time a mutation testing can make a change a to the code without at least one test failing, those tests are not good enough! Are you going to be writing new features or new tests this year?)
