I have to concede that this should stand as a testament to the power of generative AI and what it allows ordinary developers to accomplish. It's hard to complain about "slop" when this guy magicked an 8086 graphical operating system out of the aether and then ported it to a number of different architectures, running efficiently in space and time on each.
If you still believe that writing software "by hand" isn't cooked, you haven't been paying attention.
Thank you. I'm the author. It's easy to get lost in the slop that AI can produce if you try to read the code or output, but the results speak for themselves. Other one-person OS hobby projects exist, but it typically takes years just to get to a shell that you can interact with. I got to a fully graphical operating system that runs on dozens of ISAs, can connect to the modern web using TLS, ships with its own native WiFi drivers, and even supports 3D accelerated graphics for playable video games in just a few months.
