Drivers live at a nasty intersection of kernel land code, hardware-coupled code, poorly documented interfaces and undocumented interactions that have to be trialed-and-errored on real HW.

Modern LLMs kick ass, but they aren't magic.

Fully vibe coding a driver for things more complex than, perhaps, a well documented CMOS sensor (that's a small part of what's covered in the article) is still a no-no.

But an LLM does wonders at emitting boilerplate, "vibe checking" your implementations, suggesting how to implement certain things, helping debug some of the things, etc. You can get the LLM to do a lot, but you still need a lot of understanding, and a lot of applied handholding.
