That is fair - but your wording makes it sound like he is going to set aside his brain and let AI tools do all the kernel-related work for him, which I don't think will happen.

As far as I see it, he is vibe coding tools for himself but (hopefully) still manually monitoring crucial bits of software like Linux.

He's not writing code in the kernel these days, and I don't think AI will get him coding again. Maybe Ted Ts'o will be doing the vibing.

But AI is already better than most people at coding, so obviously Linux is going to end up vibe coded.

That's true. I just meant reviewing certain changes and whatnot.

I suppose the key is whether you consider vibe coding a bad thing or a good thing. Because if it's good, then that's good news, right?

yeah, I bet we're going to have Linux built without humans in the loop within a decade. Progress is going to be so fast.
