From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's unsurprising.

Normal development: Start work on new project, design it really well, start work, get bored after a week. Project 10% towards first release. Oh well.

Vibe coding: Have a buggy mess ready in a few hours, spend the next few days improving it somewhat, get bored after a week, app was already released by the time you quit.

It's also being invested in and proud of the hard work one does. I don't think these words mean anything to a vibe coder.

Well yes... If you get that far.

I literally can't stay on a project long enough unless it's work where money motivates me. I'll think of a new cool project and start on that instead of the previous one.

I do also have ADHD to be fair.

Yeah I think that's a fair point. And not really that far off for many of us too.
