Linus Torvalds shares his perspective on AI-assisted coding, stating that while vibe coding can help newcomers get started with programming, it's unsuitable for production code due to maintenance concerns. He discusses Rust's gradual integration into the Linux kernel, noting it has taken longer than expected but is becoming a real part of the codebase. Torvalds addresses AI's impact on kernel development, mentioning issues with crawlers disrupting infrastructure and AI-generated bug reports, though these problems are less severe than in other projects. He compares AI to previous productivity tools like compilers, suggesting it won't eliminate programming jobs but will change how developers work.

Linus Torvalds: Vibe coding is fine, but not for production

wait he considers compilers to be productivity tools? I guess that’s why people use to hand write code back in the black and white picture days.

i think, it’s okay to search, brainstrom, explain technical things. It’s better to consider Ai tools as your “Smart Google” that explain and guides and find answers faster, but never takes decision wether technical or functional .

Cleaning up vibe-coded mess is going to be the modern COBOL dev.

Bro we are in the 20th century 😭😂😂
