Disgust Face at 0.000438 Seconds of Unnecessary Memory Allocation

Description

A close-up black and white photograph of a man's face showing an expression of pure disgust, with annotated red markers pointing to specific facial features: '1. nose wrinkling' and '2. upper lip raised'. The right side has bold red italic text reading 'How I look at your code when it has 0.000438 seconds of unecessary memory allocation'. The clinical annotation style mimics scientific facial expression analysis (like Paul Ekman's FACS system), applied to the absurdly specific scenario of detecting sub-millisecond memory allocation waste, perfectly capturing the obsessive performance optimization mindset

Linus Torvalds is a vibe coder

  proof of any code he made in past 2 years?)
  
  @sysoevyarik 6mo
  
  Message stated he is a vibe coder, not the coder.

No wonder they update the kernel like every second. They need to fix the trash. 😁

Holy SHIT

How I look at your kernel installation script which looks up /etc/modules-${oldver} for enabled entries by invoking grep for each of several thousands of modules in the newly installed kernel, spending more than 30 seconds on what can be done in less than 0.5 seconds when implemented properly (but "who cares?" and "who needs that?"). 🤬

  "We will refactor after the first release". Ten years after the release: 🤡
