Hero worship—especially in the field of programming—is so weird.
Like, someone on the Platform Which Shall Not Be Named mentioned Linus Torvalds “vibe coding” some kind of audio visualizer tool in Python and this is used as evidence that “it's all over.”
Huh?
I have immense respect for everything Torvalds has accomplished.
I also don't care one iota what he does in his spare time. How does that invalidate my beliefs?
So weird!
Stop worshiping people.
*You shouldn’t even care what I do.* 😉
