Quoting his own lament that we are the last generation to know the joy of spending four hours tracking down a void pointer — and that codebases may now hold ten such pointers nobody can explain — the author links Debian kernel security advisory DSA-6528-1, which bundles dozens of CVEs, joking that "someone/something" seems to enjoy finding void pointers in the Linux kernel. A wry take on AI entering kernel-level code auditing and eroding the craft of hands-on debugging.
