Same here. Vibecoding my own tools is fine, because I’m the one who pays for the bugs. A kernel patch is different: thousands of people pay for them, so understanding every line is the minimum.

Anyone who sends code to public software should follow a simple code of ethics. A low barrier to entry is great, it’s how most of us started. But the bar for responsibility should rise with how many people run your code, and right now it doesn’t.
