Episode notes
Software Development vs. Engineering
- Software development is taking a task and writing code, outputting exactly what's needed.
- Software engineering is architecting a solution, like in Vibe Coding, where something else develops the code.
Industry Shift
- The software engineering industry is at the beginning of a massive shift due to AI.
- Many engineering and management layers might collapse, especially in smaller companies.
Throwaway Projects
- Phillip Gervasi uses Vibe Coding for experimental home projects, treating them as learning opportunities.
- These projects often involve exploring new data formats and technologies, resulting in blog posts.
