Linus Torvalds, the father of Linux, recently revealed in his side project, AudioNoise , that the visualization tool—written in Python—was largely developed using an AI tool he refers to as "Google Antigravity." Torvalds notes that while he directed and controlled the output, the AI did the heavy lifting. The name "Antigravity" isn't just a product moniker; it's a wink to developer culture. In Python, typing import antigravity doesn't load a physics library; instead, it's an Easter egg that launches the famous XKCD comic about how Python makes coding so easy, you feel like you're flying. This example perfectly illustrates how Generative AI acts as a force multiplier, especially in domains where you aren't an expert. The tedious loop of scouring search engines for code snippets, piecing them together, making minor tweaks, and retrying is drastically shortened. However, this shouldn't be mi...
