So sick of this doomer BS. I went and had a look at Linus' "FoSS vibe coded project" that everyone's been flipping their shit over.

  1. It's only the python UI
  2. It's gluing together matlib and pandas
  3. It's written like a crazy person and I would absolutely reject that if it was a PR.

Like, it apparently worked for Linus and he also doesn't care to learn python at all. But I was under the impression that these things are supposed to be good at python.

This was completely unhinged garbage that I'm shocked even worked. It created the same function twice one after the other. We have nested python functions.

We have these unhinged guard conditions where if navigation is true we return. THEN we immediately set it to be true and at the end of the function we set it to false again. I thought I was high reading that code. If you legitimately think these things are better at writing code then you are, you suck at writing code.
