Top Linux Developers Losing the Will To Code?

E5Rebel noted that Don Marti has a piece that talks about "Core Linux developers are finding themselves managing and checking, rather than coding, as the number of kernel contributors grows and the contributor network becomes more complex."

They are not loosing the will to code. They just have too much other work, like reviewing others code. So they do not have enough time left to code. RTFA. The headline is not reflected in the article itself at all.

I'm loosing the will to spell.

I think it's appropriate that a PHP mug has an error on it. I think the next one should have a sql injection attack.

I just don't *want* to write code any more.

I feel your pain, brother! I've spent my entire career not wanting to write code. Thankfully, I took a dev position at SCO.
