What these subjects mean

design How things should be made and judged: what makes a design good, who should do the designing, and what an interface is for.

product management What a product manager is for, who decides what gets built, and what happens to that job once delivery is cheap.

vibe coding Building software by describing what you want and accepting what comes back, without reading much of it.

What is a PM for, now that building is cheap?under our view: Building got cheap, so the scarce work is choosing what to build and knowing what good looks like Who should design software, and how?under our view: Design is everyone's job: whoever shapes the outcome is designing, and increasingly that includes the users

What Jakob Nielsen actually said

  1. Jakob Nielsen Usability pioneer; co-founder of Nielsen Norman Group…

Product managers and designers must still do user research, market analysis, and creative brainstorming. In that sense, vibe coding changes the implementation phase more than the planning phase of the product lifecycle.
