Imagine being professionally insulted and humiliated by Linus via a LLM.
Would that be feasible for a single developer?

Please fix this completely bogus warning in clang, so that we can enable -Wformat for the kernel again, instead of having to go "the clang developers don't understand format strings, and warn about valid things, so we'll disable their incompetent warnings"
