On AI posted on july 23rd, 2026 with tags ai and vintagecomputing In 2019, I started watching Andreas Kling's programming videos, many of which were live-coding sessions writing his new operating system Serenity OS.

Back then it seemed like he had much of the code written in his head and was limited just by his typing speed. Four years later, he switched to CLion which had early GitHub Copilot support for AI-assisted code completion. While initially skeptical of Copilot, he experimented with it and within months, Copilot was writing code blocks, "reading [his] mind", and writing whole functions.
