Saw a post on social media that jokes “Linus Torvalds has been vibe coding for ages: difference is he mostly review PR from other human contributors instead of LLM outputs.”

And think to myself: so this is how some people saw open source contributors, or perhaps programmers in general.

And that’s probably why some people are so excited about LLM: they don’t want to pay or manage people.

It was a conscious decision to skip the human part of open source.

I highly doubt Linus was doing that.
