is it just me or has the linux community become more obsessed with "how" someone writes code rather than "what" they actually built i spent the last few months fighting legacy 80386 bugs and custom vga drivers on a 35 year old kernel to build a functional gui and the first thing people ask is not about memory management or interrupt handling but "did an ai write this" because apparently if you work faster than a 1990s snail you must be faking it

it's funny how the loudest skeptics are always the ones who admit they use llms themselves but failed to get any quality results so they assume everyone else is just "vibecoding" their way through kernel panics and triple faults just because you couldn't prompt your way out of a paper bag doesnt mean a developer with 12 years of experience cant use modern tools to accelerate real engineering feats

stop gatekeeping engineering with arbitrary rules about "effort" and "grammar" and start respecting the actual architecture if you have a technical critique about my task switching or gdt reloading im all ears but if your only contribution is "sus" because i didnt take 10 years to finish a hobby project then you are the reason people stop sharing cool stuff here stay in the past while some of us actually ship code
