Accidental academic, failed and got lucky a lot, see veronikach.com

I did "AI" (machine learning, pattern recognition) before the hype and often share things about its adverse effects. I have two cats and post cat pictures often.

Linus Tech Tips: There was a recent thing from a major tech company where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote, and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here who was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity because it means nothing.

Linus Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset at that point. That’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.

LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?

Linus Torvalds: No.

LTT: Oh. Uh… he was a prominent figure in the improved efficiency of the U.S. Government recently.

Linus Torvalds: Oh, apparently I was spot-on.
