What is the last model you used... lol. Linus Torvalds himself said the newest models are better than him at coding.

This doesn't sound correct. Source?

In recent months, Linus said it specifically about code for a personal side project of his. The quote was in the commit message. (I’m not the grandparent commenter, and I think grandparent commenter’s claims may be too broad or require context.)

There are a missing the context: The vibecoded application was written in python while the main code was written manually in C by Torvalds in this side project. He never ever said that AI produces better code than him in the language where he is proficientI.

> The python visualizer tool has been basically written by vibe-coding. I know more about analog filters -- and that's not saying much -- than I do about python. It started out as my typical "google and do the monkey-see-monkey-do" kind of programming, but then I cut out the middle-man -- me -- and just used Google Antigravity to do the audio sample visualizer.
