Commit: 93a7256

Merge branch 'antigravity'
This is Google Antigravity fixing up my visualization tool (which was
also generated with help from google, but of the normal kind).

It mostly went smoothly, although I had to figure out what the problem
...

I'm not gonna waste the remainder of my SN editing window on tweaking this formatting. DYOR etc

my original comment:

all I see so far:

Random digital audio effects

DocumentationDocumentation

the README and LICENSE were added together, in the latest commit with a comment that actually reads like Linus

SourcesSources

nothing obviously vibe-coding-related in the filenames

Is there some fingerprint or "code smell" that you recognize, from your familiarity with vibe coding?

thanks; that suggests that maybe he's compartmentalising the vibecoding to the language with which he's less familiar.

I had begun skimming the sources before I reviewed the commit message history, and didn't find any mention of vibecoding in the comments of e.g. util.c, which he might even just be pasting from well-tested reference libraries.
