I think this is perhaps missing context:

"The Creative Act: A Way of Being" by Rick Ruben https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Act-Way-Being/dp/0593652886

I believe they just wrote about vibe-coding in the style of the book he wrote

Creativity follows a different pattern than highly repeatable line work. Software engineering is an inherently creative pursuit, especially when paired closely with a dynamic product function.

Definitely recommend Rick Rubin's book The Creative Act for a detailed glance into how wildly off the attempt to systematize and measure productivity is, in a creative context. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Act-Way-Being/dp/0593652886
