For what it's worth, I actually agree that good software development genuinely is driven by vibes a lot of the time. Sometimes we get to formalize them into laws and rules, but we learn the vibes before we learn the rules; and if we only learn the rules but not the vibes, we don't reliably manage to apply them or overapply them. So I don't view that as an insult, but as a differently-phrased description of my actual view.

So if you want me to view it as ridiculous, you're gonna have to actually engage with the point.
