How did they react to it being vibe coded? Were they pragmatic about it, as Linus recently suggested

I have like 4 drivers to upstream myself, plus a couple of patches here and there. Quality is good and they're tested, and while I understand the code and how things work low level, I wouldn't be able to write them myself.

I've never tried it, I am put off by the amount of work for a few weekends on what I considered a personal project, plus I don't understand the code base well enough (problem domain is ok, I grew up with 8 and 16 Bit machines, and pushing graphics driver boundaries in Amiga and VGA monitor era machines). This is why my readme asks for help with issues :)

The dev on this driver used a combination of local Qwen 3.6 and 3.8 27B for admin and basic work, and extensive Codex 5.6 Sol Max to catch the issues I found and do last stage optimisations / isolate the bugs.

I'll freely admit I relied heavily on AI, my expertise and day job is in other software stacks.

I stand on the back of giants :)
