Overview
- Torvalds published AudioNoise on GitHub under GPLv2 and described it as a toy project for learning digital audio processing.
- He said the Python audio visualizer was generated via 'vibe coding' with Google Antigravity, while he hand‑wrote the C effects code.
- Coverage and commentary emphasize that he has not applied this workflow to the Linux kernel, Git, or other critical software.
- Google DeepMind’s Varun Mohan welcomed the use of Antigravity, and industry voices revisited the trade‑offs of AI‑generated code.
- Analysts and developers caution that vibe coding can suit quick, noncritical tasks but poses risks for maintainability and reliability in serious projects.
