Appreciate this discussion. I worked 15yrs in large tech companies as a software engineer and felt like a pawn always.
Engineers have a hard task - building and maintaining code is a high focus activity, leaving no time for scheming. Meanwhile the non technical people have all the free time and use it wrongly on scheming.
With vibe coding, perhaps this dynamic can shift.
In the early days of the software industry there weren't these many non technical people running the show.
I appreciate the authors workarounds but shouldn't the larger question be whether this is the correct way to run a company?
