⚡️🤖🖕 NEW - Linus Torvalds says tracking down a bug in Linux's Intel GFX Driver was a "debug session from hell." The AI helping him repeatedly called it "impossible and unsolvable" and suggested they just write a report instead.
He kept pushing. 24 debug patches and 18 kernel boots later he found the bug: one round_up() that should have been round_down().
He then let the AI write the commit message.
