That you should also not trust every line of the compiled assembly after you wrote the code, and check it lime by line, is an extremely stupid argument.
I guess it’s good that no one is making that argument then.
that is the argument linus is making… he is comparing a deterministic tool (a compiler that outputs the same assembly every time) to a non-deterministic tool and saying that they are the same type of tool. that require the same level of review, when they do not.
he is comparing a deterministic tool with a non-deterministic tool
Yes, but that’s not the argument Mikina was stating. Linus was never advocating for reading assembly line by line. Linus was using that as a satirical example, not suggesting anyone should actually do that.
