alt Hacker NewsI strongly believe that this is a false and outdated take.
Code being the easy part was predicated on how long it took to build a product, and the impact that had on product management, sales, and marketing.
When the time to build collapses, all product/sales/design/martketing mistakes are forgiven. You can pivot so fast, that mistakes in other domains dont matter as much and are reversible
All of the axioms we previously held true need to be rethought

don't worry that we got the wrong requirements from the customer, chose an impossible deadline, priced it wrong, and there's no market, we can just vibe code our way out of it??

Because we don't need to worry about uptime, customer satisfaction, or data integrity.

I must be living in topsy turvey land because this is literally the opposite of what is true. When the time to build collapses, those things become the criticality of the entire product. From a customer perspective, those were always the things that mattered, the customer story. No customer cares how a thing was coded, they’ve ALWAYS cared about all those other things.
