Linus is the original vibe coder. He barks orders at cadre of human contributor agents and subsystem maintainer agents until the code looks the way he likes.
All of the code will be handcrafted, bespoke and artisanal. Written in heirloom editors. The comments could be described as ambrosial, whilst the code reads in a piquant and succulent manner.

Something like stop_machine() along with freeze_processes() might get you fairly close to that.

I loved kitesurfing on Lake Michigan before I moved out to the gorge this year. I was out in Indiana and usually rode MC, Lake St and Wolf. I made some great friends and have some awesome memories of my time there.
That would be fantastic. I'm triple vaxxed and have had covid twice. I frankly don't care anymore.

Clinton Lake a bit south of there has decent windsurfing and kitesurfing in the spring and fall.
Lake levels are near record high currently, and causing massive amounts of erosion all along the coastline. It's actually quite interesting to watch houses, dunes, roads and other structures fall into the lake as nature does what it does. [0] Removing a few million gallons a day isn't going to hurt the the lake that much.
