Summary:
AI coding assistants are everywhere now, but how well do they actually work
for open source? This talk shares lessons from using AI on two Linux
networking projects: DPDK and iproute2.
The good: documentation, test writing, and debugging. The bad: awkward code
suggestions, formatting errors, and false positives in code reviews. The
ugly: trying to get AI to write new features like RSTP or FQ-CoDel — after
too many failed attempts, I gave up and moved on to more useful things.
A frank look at where AI helps, where it wastes your time, and what to
watch out for.
Bio:
Stephen Hemminger is a longtime Linux kernel networking developer,
maintainer of iproute2, and contributor to DPDK. Now retired, he continues
contributing to open source as a volunteer. |

Enter through the Engineering Building. The room is downstairs, follow the signs. If the outside door is locked and there isn't anyone to let you in, look for the sign and a cell number to text. |
