It's an interesting point, but at the same time there are benefits to human contributions being slower paced.
Not only that, Linus was not immediately overwhelmed by external contributions but had the time to become intimate with the project and its evolution.
While I get what Antirez is saying, and I see why it can work and scale for him, there's a bit of nuance missing: everything he says it's true, as long as you, the coder, actually spend a lot of time studying and planning what you want to achieve as you iterate.
Which, coincidentally, it's what Antirez himself did both for DwarfStar or Redis Arrays. He spent a gargantuan amount of time before he wrote a single line of code till he could largely explain the system, the design choices and their tensions.
pff, i'm getting a bit tired of this endless bullshit from antirez tbh.
No we are not linus now, LLMs are not humans, agents don't think, don't 'know' when they fuck up. Even making the comparison is just disrespectful to everyone involved

pff, it's really boring to see the same reflexive red herring in every llm thread.
they are not humans
they don't think
they don't 'know'
antirez never says they are or do any of that
at least an llm can write a response that is relevant to its context, your non-sequiturs can't even do that.
