I'm not defending the vibe coding but the article's argument here is pretty bad. I am at the top of my field, I have been coding since the mid nineties, bla, blah, blah, and I cannot stand Python. I don't like it. I don't want to learn it. That's not a fault or a deficiency, it's a choice.
What is a problem is Linus' decision to go ahead and "code" something on Python even though he had no intention on learning it, then using AI to code something for him that he could not troubleshoot because he doesn't have the knowledge. That's reckless.
