Vibes Over Variables

Content My boss: okay everyone. Time to return to the office! Me: No, I don't think will

The year is 2070. Flying cars exist. We've colonized Mars. Quantum computing powers everything. But the Linux kernel? Still not "vibe code." Some poor maintainer is getting a pull request rejected because Linus doesn't think their commit messages spark joy. 50 years from now and we'll still be using git, still dealing with legacy code from the 90s, and still arguing about tabs vs spaces. The more technology advances, the more kernel development stays exactly the same.

Ah yes, the classic Linux evangelism. "Just use Linux" they say, as if it's one simple thing to install. Meanwhile, what they don't tell you is that "Linux" is actually this comically overwhelming family tree of distributions that would make genealogists have a panic attack. That image shows the absurd branching evolution of every Linux distro ever created. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo, and about 500 others I've never heard of despite using Linux for 15 years. It's like walking into an ice cream shop and instead of just chocolate or vanilla, there are 600 flavors and the guy behind the counter is judging you for not knowing the difference between Mint Cinnamon and Mint MATE.
