Linus said that this particular project was vibe coded, not that he was a vibe coder or that he's going to vibe-code everything he does from now on.

He'll keep ramping up his vibe coding, because he can see it's the future.
As far as I see it, he is vibe coding tools for himself but (hopefully) still manually monitoring crucial bits of software like Linux.
But AI is already better than most people at coding, so obviously Linux is going to end up vibe coded.
I suppose the key is whether you consider vibe coding a bad thing or a good thing. Because if it's good, then that's good news, right?
