Do you completely fail at critical thinking? I'll slow it down so you can understand:
Linus sees sloppy code written by a human
Linus sees sloppy code written by an AI
Why did #1 not corrupt him have decades, but #2 definitely will? There is no reason, sloppy code is sloppy code whether written by a human or written by an AI.
You're equating shitty developers becoming vibe coders with a skilled software engineer using a tool. I think you just don't know the difference between a junior developer and a senior software engineer. Maybe you just don't have any experience in software development and are just reading articles on random websites.
just gonna end this pointless chat here:
Yeah I get it, you're someone who goes along with the narratives from articles that an algorithm selected for you. I guess you just got comfy with going along AI algorithms in your information consumption so you assume others will too.
