I think actually on the programming side, we’re in a fairly good spot. I really think that AI will be a tool and it will make people more productive. I think that vibe coding is great for getting into programming. I think it’s gonna be a horrible thing to maintain. So I don’t think programmers go away. You still want to have the people who know how to maintain the end result. I’m a huge believer in AI. I’m not a huge believer in the things going on around AI. I find the marketing and the market to be sick and twisted, and there is going to be a crash, and it’s gonna be ugly.

    Vibe-coding =/= actual coding. He chewed out someone for committing code that was simply churned out by an AI without checking if it's actually functional code.

    Lemme try find his email...

    So.... typical Linus response to poor code. You'd don't really need a source, I've seen him go off on bad coders more than once, adding AI doesn't really change much.

    I mean... He did say something along the lines of being incompetent for using AI. Or that incompetence made them use AI.

    I think Linus sees some benefit in an AI tool catching problems in code you've written, but not as a crutch to vibe-code with.
