Anyone seeking an explanation for why Linus Torvalds and a million other awful nerdbosses like him seem perplexingly to believe that the #LLM is stupendous at writing computer code, look no further! **C** is an object of worship of a very special sort, a holy of holies in the #tech world. John Carmack, one of the emptiest human beings I've ever encountered on Twitter, is revered as a god simply because he's supposedly a dab hand at C programming.
Is he? What exactly does John Carmack do with his time? I think he dropped the feeble interest in #rockets.
