I am getting SO tired of these posts from influencers:

“We literally cloned an N billion-dollar company in 20 minutes with {vibe coding tool}. This changes the game forever.”

The whole point of a kanban board is that it manages a pull system. When you ship something, you pull the next thing to work on from upstream. If you finish a story, you pull a new one from the customer.
