Vibes. Aura. Rizz.
The words has successfully integrated themselves into our daily conversation. As a software engineer I’ve been trained to rely on data. We pepper our code with logging and telemetry so we can make decisions based on data. We setup infrastructure to collect, aggregate, and visualize data. All to help us make decisions based on data instead of emotion.
I’ve come to accept that vibes matter. Nobody likes to feel sad and negative. People like to have other people in the room that give off good vibes. You want to stay employed and play well with others? Embrace the vibes. We have become a vibes culture.
