Linus Calls AI Reports "Unmanageable," DHH Calls Them a Nine-Times Speedup

Linus Torvalds declared the Linux security mailing list 'almost entirely unmanageable' due to a flood of AI-generated duplicate bug reports, and called for contributors to attach patches rather than drive-by submissions. DHH, from the opposite angle, reported a nine-times test suite speedup after AI-assisted RSpec-to-fixtures conversion, declared GPT 5.5 low-reasoning his current daily driver, and confirmed Omarchy 4 is moving to Quickshell.

TypeScript 7, Bun in Rust, and the Malleable Linux

DHH argues AI has finally made Linux truly user-malleable — only on open systems can agents actually reshape what's running. That thesis lands in a week where TypeScript 7.0 Beta shipped a Go-native port running ~10× faster, Bun merged a 960K-line Zig-to-Rust rewrite completed in under a week with AI assistance, and Wasp concluded their custom DSL was a five-year mistake.
