"obsolete dinosaur who hasn't written a line of code in decades"

The most recent code change in Emacs by RMS was on 2026-04-22 (0fb9d096e38), so ~3 months ago. He can write complex code (without AI), such as the `cond*` macro (707 LOC, all macro code), authored and pushed to Emacs on 2024-08-02 (18491f48d97).

I stand corrected on the "writing lines of code in decades" portion but not on the rest.

I think RMS does far more harm to the movement than he does good, and this ignorant, luddite take on GPUs is a poignant example.
