If whatever this SaaS can be so easily built with no technical knowledge... why would a company not just build it themselves with "vibe coding" and cut out our friend completely?
That is what is so broken about this whole vibe coding to riches thing. Ignoring the very real problems with the quality of the code and security issues, if you can vibe code it what is stopping someone else from doing the exact same thing.
It sure isn't like security is any better... clearly.
One of the first things he told me after he got it up was that this is the end of SaaS.
The thing is, not everyone knows about these tools. Many small businesses are focused on their day to day. Even if you can build it yourself, there is still some operational overhead. Even if you don't have to be technical as an engineer, you still need to know a bit about apps -- what's React? What's a database?
