I hear what you are saying, but you can't ignore the disruption vs traditional axis of 'brand new shit' vs 'archaic shit that is still the basis of everything for probably a lot of good reasons.'
Thats the y axis.
The x axis is basically full corpo on the right, full foss/anarchist on the left.
So, the vibe coder is a soydev who works for cogdevs, or people somewhere between cogdev and soydev.
Here's how I look at this.
Maybe if you went with... not the corners of the quadrants, but the tips of the axes, you'd get:
top:
bottom:
left:
right:
Further down in this thread, under another comment, I basically tried to do a 'personality test' or maybe 'ttrpg archetype description' style write up of the corners of the quadrants... at least my way of trying to make sense out of what I think whoever made this image is going for.
