Vibe Coding: The Unicorn Turkey That Defies Culinary Physics
Description
A meme showing three roasted turkeys/chickens on ornate serving platters against a dark background, with the header text 'A good solution takes time. Adding people ...or tools helps... but it's not a magic shortcut.' Left turkey: Perfectly golden-brown roasted, labeled '3 hours @ 300F' - representing the proper, patient approach. Center turkey: Completely charred and burnt black, labeled '1 hour @ 900F' - representing the rushed, brute-force approach (Brooks' Law in culinary form). Right turkey: A surreal rainbow/pastel-colored unicorn turkey with a multicolored horn growing from it, labeled '2 mins vibe coding' - representing the magical thinking of AI-assisted 'vibe coding' that produces something fast but fundamentally alien and unnatural. The meme uses cooking as a metaphor for software development to illustrate that quality work requires time and cannot be shortcut by throwing more resources or AI tools at the problem

The vibe-coded turkey looks incredible on demo day, passes the smell test in staging, and poisons everyone in production
