Description:
Alexei Starovoitov gave " less of a presentation, more of a scream of realization " at the BPF track of the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit . He shared a set of ideas for how BPF could change to avoid being swept away by the sea-change in programming represented by modern
large language models (LLMs) and the coding agents based on them.
In a follow-up session, the discussion covered
more problems with how coding agents use tools like bpftrace, and the current deluge of
patches in need of review in the BPF subsystem.
