An entire OS, written by AI — and it runs DOOM

WHAT IT SOLVES

AI can scaffold a todo app in seconds. But can it write a bare-metal OS that actually boots on real hardware?

WHY IT'S INTERESTING

Real craft

The git log tells the real story — this isn't a toy

184 commits of actual kernel engineering: fixing D-cache coherency for GPU/DMA operations, debugging GOT sections in linker scripts to prevent kernel hangs, preemptive scheduling with 200ms time slices. Not the kind of stuff a lazy AI demo stumbles into

Product taste

DOOM + MicroPython: the ultimate 'prove it works' flex

Didn't settle for hello world. Ported doomgeneric (DOOM literally runs on this thing) and embedded MicroPython. Running DOOM is the operating system rite of passage — pulling it off on a vibecoded kernel is genuinely absurd

TECH GUESS

Likely Rust or C on bare-metal Aarch64 (probably Raspberry Pi 3/4), with AI assistance (Cursor/Claude) driving the entire development process
