Linus is the original vibe coder. He barks orders at cadre of human contributor agents and subsystem maintainer agents until the code looks the way he likes.

That's called being a manager, not a vibe coder.

LoL.

Jesting aside, OpenHub lists Linus Torvalds as having made 46,338 commits. 45,178 for Linux, 1,118 for Git. His most recent commit was 17 days ago. [1]

That is a far cry from a vibe-coder, no? :-)

Bit unfair to call his leadership vibe-coding, methinks.
