Can You Vibe Code an OS Without Lying to Yourself?

说明与用途

作者说明了使用 AI 生成操作系统代码的风险，并展示了通过强制执行硬性不变量和真实启动测试来防止灾难性错误的方法。

问题

Relying on AI-generated code for critical OS components can lead to undetected failures because tests may pass while the system is fundamentally incorrect.

结果

By enforcing hard invariants and performing real boot tests, the author prevented a bricked update that would have passed all other checks.

工作流

• Define critical invariants for OS components (e.g., update path must boot).
• Use AI agents to generate code against these invariants.
• Run automated tests covering metadata, signatures, and functional behavior.
• Perform a real boot of the updated system to validate the invariant.
• If the boot fails, investigate and reject the AI-generated code.
• Iterate until all invariants are satisfied and the system boots correctly.

证据

The generated system was wrong. The architecture review did not catch it. The metadata tests did not catch it. Actually booting the update caught it.

Vibe coding an OS is a terrible idea if "vibe coding" means trusting generated code because it looks right and the tests are green.
