The problem with this article is that chris misunderstands the meaning of the word "experience".

In the context of the research about happiness, experience meant real live experiences.You usually remember those kinds of experiences, they become a part of who you are, and you do use memories of them to change your mood.

Products usually have a different happiness charasteristic. They make you happy but only for a short time and then you get used to them.

Is software products or experiences ? well that depends on the software. airBNB seems to fit on the product model, like a well designed lamp. Using a programming language is an experience.
