The whole “vibe coding” thing is another reminder that quite a lot of people working in tech don’t understand the difference between programs and products -- Dylan Beattie in The Problem with “Vibe Coding”

Love the distinction made by Dylan in this post. I am still as in love with programming as I was 15 years ago. Product development, on the other hand, brings me to tears on a weekly basis.
