Did the headline change? The current headline is Torvalds: “100% of Their Code is Written by Compilers” Too
The title of this post makes for a dumb headline, at any rate. Linus, in response to claims in the industry that projects are now “99% written by AI”, drew an analogy to compilers by saying that all machine code for projects are written by compilers, yet no one says their project was 100% written by a compiler. It’s just talking about stupid hype, which is valid.
That being said, it’s still quite unfortunate that Linus has fallen into the trap of LLMs.
I don’t get the impression he’s fallen in the trap at all.
More so, he sees it for what it is. It’s a tool that can help, but needs smart people that can validate its output. It can’t design entire systems nor effectively solve real world business problems on its own. It’s not going anywhere, so may as well adapt to our new reality.

Source did change the title if you look at the URL matches what OP posted
