lol. reasons never to use bcachefs or spend 1ms thinking about it ever again:

it's vibe coded.

yeah, a vibe coded Linux file system.

here's the "blog" of the lead dev's "AI assistant": https://poc.bcachefs.org/

i now have much more insight into bcachefs getting kicked out of the kernel

EDIT: my fucking god what an incredible post this is https://www.reddit.com/r/bcachefs/comments/1rblll1/the_blog_of_an_llm_saying_its_owned_by_kent_and/o6tmlib/

@davidgerard I thought Linus Torvalds was not anti AI? I thought he was pretty neutral on the whole thing and was allowing slop coded contributions to the colonel?

No, he's anti AI, but he can't be arsed demanding AI code is flagged because sloperators will lie through their teeth to get their septic shit into project codebases. I'm running on brtrthrtfs (sorry, vibe-coded the spelling) kinda by accident (top of the list on CachyOS), and I've only just finished purging Omarchy. Here I go again. My machine build scripts are getting *very* efficient

Sorry, double checked my references. This was my core, I misread some vehemence for hate. https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/08/linus_versus_llms_ai_slop_docs/

Since then he's playing with vibe coding in a limited, and most importantly, nowhere near the the kernel. This is in keeping with my own experience that it can be useful in small and limited use cases, but for me at least the real world costs massively outweigh the minor convenience.

Sorry, should have checked my receipts before running my mouth.

Linus Torvalds: Stop making an issue out of AI slop in kernel docs – you're not changing anybody's mind
