    I feel like the comments are taking away the wrong message from this. He used it to do the part of the project that he has poor knowledge/experience/capacity for. He needs a visualization but the project isn't about visualization. He's spent a lifetime coding in C, not writing python-based visualizations.

    There's a big difference between vibe-coding an entire project and having an AI build a component that you lack competency for. That is what is happening here.

    It's the same principle as a startup that builds it core functionality itself in-house and then uses off-the-shelf libraries for all the other uninteresting details.

    >Add README and LICENSE file I'm pushing it out to github not because it needs to be public, but because of my policy of using the internet as my backups. And because it makes it so much easier to just sync between machines.

    Very cool to see a legends side project. I'll check this out when I have time even though I can't understand C well.

    That is truly sad :-(

      What's truly "sad" is that it's ok if Google does it. It's apparently not ok when OpenAI, Musk, etc do literally the same thing.

      This whole controversy reminds me of that Rhodesian designed shotgun marketed as "Street Sweeper" in the US. Making a tool is one thing. Brandishing its unsafe working end to potential customers in an attempt to impress them, alas, could lead to interesting situations...

      Why is that?

    It's official, vibe coding is legit.

      No tests, mypy type hinting or doc strings -- just pure vibes

    BassForLinus.mp3 ?

    I never clicked a file so fast in my life before.

    It's a tame bass sample sound. Probably from Linus himself. I want more!
