What They Said

“…I've always thought of production as a function of how many other people than the creator can fix and iterate the product.” — Shaun McGirr, Half Stack Data Science

The episode was about who ends up maintaining software that non-engineers generate, and McGirr reached for a definition of production that has nothing to do with uptime or polish.

He went on to say that vibe coding gets teams to that wall faster and with more force.
