The internet, it's a strange place,

okay? It's the only place I know of

where a small event can happen and every

last person's like, "It's so over or

we're so back." And that just happened

again. Okay, we're talking about a

massive one. I saw videos being made,

tweets being hacked, people just telling

me all of soft for dev is somehow over

again.

>> We might be 6 to 12 months away from

when the model is doing most, maybe all

of what do end to end.

Hey, do you see this? This is me in the

arch sweater. Yes, this delicious

Christmas sweater that also doubles as a

nice little winter sweater to keep you

warm. This is gone. In 48 hours, we're

closing it down, never to be seen again.

So, if you want it, it will be linked in

the description. It'll be in the pinned

comment. And guess what? 50% of all

sales, they go to open source. They go

specifically to the Arch Linux

Foundation. So, get it now while

supplies last.

No, not that. Not anthropic. Once again

telling you the the 48 months into the 6

months until it's all over. Bro, that's

not the one I'm talking about. The one

I'm talking about it's by the person you

least suspect. Okay. Lionus. No, not the

tech tips. Torva. Yes. Somehow Torvalda

has done something in which has caused

the entire software engineering world to

lose its damn mind. And it is completely

silly. And the best part is it really

just misses the entire point. Okay, so

this this right here caused everybody to

lose their mind. Now audio noise,

Torvalds, what is he doing here? So it

turns out once a year during Christmas,

apparently Torvalds just go side

questing on some sort of magical

software or hardware project. The year

before he did a bunch of like guitar

pedal stuff and soldering. This year he

wanted to write some software for it.

Some submillisecond audio processing. Of

course did it in nothing but the lovely

C right here. Like just look at that.

written with micro emacs looking just so

good. Look at that for loop. Now that my

friends, that's a for loop. All right,

so what is making people lose their

mind? I mean, Torvald's writing sea. I

mean, come on. The water is wet, sky is

blue. Nothing controversial is happening

here. Well, actually, if you go all the

way down to the very last paragraph, it

says this. Also, note that Python

visualizer tool has basically written by

vibe coding. I know more about analog

filters, and that's not saying much than

I do about Python. I started out as my

typical Google and do monkey see monkey

do kind of programming, but then I cut

out the middleman, me, and just used

Google anti-gravity to do the audio

sample visualizer. Yes, the vibes were

had by Torvalds himself, despite the

fact that he spent countless hours

learning about audio processing,

creating a bunch of C, getting this to

run on hardware that he probably

soldered last Christmas, doing a huge

amount of exploration and

self-fulfilling, self kind of actualized

programming that really makes him a

deeper expert and be able to enjoy his

craft long term. No, no, no, no, not

that part. Not that part. That would be

silly to focus on. Instead, it's the

Python script. And obviously by him vibe

coding it, it's so over, boys. Pack it

up. It is actually 6 months until

everything ends. And that's just that.

Now, naturally, I think this is just

completely silly. Okay, this is just

like the silliest thing I've ever seen.

I just I am shocked. I am Okay, I

shouldn't be shocked. I should not be

shocked. I should not be shocked at all.

Okay, because we are in unprecedented

hype cycles right now. In fact, the hype

cycles are so unprecedented that they

have now exceeded the cryptocurrency NFT

hype cycles because look at this right

here. One of the creators of the AI

tools

rugged with cryptocurrency. I mean,

[laughter] it's the IT'S THE GREATEST

IT'S ACTUALLY THE GREATEST timeline

we've ever lived on right here. I can't

believe it. Yes, I will make a video

about this because it turns out a lot of

these people are now apparently making

some sort of cryptocurrency and then

also rugging people. We'll get back.

Okay, that's that's a different video,

different time. Today though, we're

talking vibe coding. Now, I'm no

stranger to vibe coding. Okay, do you

see the little black box right up there?

If I talk in here, hey, it's going to

show up right there. Okay, I've made my

own nice little chat program. It can

combine multiple chats. I can do some

cool stuff over it. But I'm no stranger,

okay, to Vibe Coding. I know a thing or

two about it, and I can see a lot of

both the benefits of it and of course

the the jagged edges that does exist.

like I personally would never want to

stake like my production app for other

people to use on just like a purely

vibecoded experience. And so this just

absolute insanity levels that are going

on right now is just so ridiculous. And

honestly, I think it's a little absurd

that people are using like an iconic

programmer as a cudgel really just to

sell their product. I am genuinely not

really that happy about that experience.

I think it is a little bit silly. Um, I

think at the end of the day, who cares

if he used it to make the Python

portion? It wasn't even a part of it. It

was a side quest. It was like a side

quest side quest. Okay, the actual

project was already a side quest. And

that was for his learning. And it just

goes to show like if anything, this

takeaway from this experience should be,

oh my gosh, you know what's really

important? Skills. You're watching

Lionus in real time develop skills

around things he's interested in and

then vibing out the things he's not

interested in and it just needed

something. So for me, this is actually

like it's it's hilarious because it's

it's like intentionally misunderstanding

what's going on to sell something or to

make a point or to score updes on

Twitter or some crap. So at the end of

the day, I think that Lionus himself

actually says it best. I think actually

on the programming side, we're in a

fairly good spot. I really think that AI

will be a tool and it will make people

more productive. I think that VIP coding

is great for getting into programming. I

think it's going to be a horrible thing

to maintain. And that's just straight

from Lionus's mouth. And to really back

that up, he actually has put this in the

Linux kernel mailing list. Okay, he sent

this out to all the kernel developers

about AI. They're arguing whether or not

they should be putting some stuff into

the documentation about whether or not

they accept AI contributions. And he

says this, there is zero point in

talking about AI slop. It's just plain

stupid. Why? Because the AI slop people

aren't going to document their patches

as such. That's such an obvious truism

that I don't understand why anybody even

brings up AI slop. So stop the idiocy.

The documentation is for good actors and

pretending anything else is pointless

posture. As I've said in private

elsewhere, I do not want any kernel

development documentation to be some AI

statement. We have enough people on both

sides of the sky is falling and it's

going to revolutionize software

engineering. I don't want some kind of

kernel development docs taking either

stance. It's why I strongly want this to

be that just a tool statement in the

kernel mailing list and in the YouTube

videos. It's just a tool. And maybe

hopefully maybe I know this is like my

19th video on this stuff. Just maybe,

just maybe I'm helping pour just enough

cold water on it that you understand a

it's it's going to be important some

understand it. Okay? Go out there,

explore it, see what it can do, see what

it can't do. Personally, I love the fact

that I will build tools that I would

just never build ever. Like I would have

never built this overlay thing for my

stream because I just don't want to take

the time to do it. It's like that's a

non-interesting problem for me. Oh, but

if I can just spend, you know, 20 $30

and be able to have that as a piece of

software that I just run. Oh, super cool

internal tool. I'm very happy. So, yes.

Do I think you should go explore things?

Hopefully by now from the beta access to

Google Copilot all the way up to now and

me pretty much trying every single tool.

Hopefully, I showed you the most

important thing of all of software

engineering is learning and becoming

better at your craft. And understanding

how tools work and their availability is

in fact one of the best ways at becoming

a better software engineer. All right,

end of rant. End of the rant. So, don't

worry. I think we still got a lot of

time before coating is completely gone

and out of these little thingies right

here. The name is you got 48 hours left

to get this arch sweater or else it's

going to be completely gone. Gone

forever again.
