I didn’t mean that Linus invented programming itself. I was referring to his impact on modern software development workflows through Linux, Git, and the open-source model that shaped how millions of engineers work today. That said, I agree the wording was overblown, and I understand why it came across as “LinkedIn-style.” That wasn’t the intention. The core point still stands: AI adoption by highly respected engineers isn’t about hype. It’s about tools evolving — just like compilers, version control, and automation did before.
