On the contrary, I hope vibe coding revives Linux desktop into a truly usable platform. e.g. Vibe coding defeats GNOME developers' main argument for endlessly deleting features and degrading user experience - that features are ostensibly "hard to maintain". Well, LLMs are rapidly reducing development costs to 0. The bottleneck for UI development is now testing, and here desktop Linux has advantage - Linux users have been trained like Pavlov's dogs to test and write detailed upstream bug reports, something Windows and macOS users just don't do. | ||

Is the maintenance due to code or due to people / politics / etc? LLMs won't change that. Also it's a formal system and process, "vibe" coding is anything but. Call me curmudgeony (?) but I don't think "vibe coding" should be a phrase used to describe LLM assisted software engineering in large / critical systems. | ||

You don't think the current prices of LLMs will stay? At some point the investors want to see profit. | ||
