All these articles seem to think people will vibe code by prompting:
make me my own Stripe
make me my own Salesforce
make me my own Shopify
It will be more like:
Look at how Lago, an open-source Stripe layer, works and make it work with Authorized.net directly
Look at Twenty, an open-source CRM, and make it work in our tech stack for our sales needs
Look at how Medusa, an open-source e-commerce platform, works and what features we would need and bring into our website
When doing the latter, getting a good enough alternative will reduce the need for commercial SaaS. On top of that, these commercial SaaS are bloated with features in their attempt to work with as many use cases as possible and configuring them is “coding” by another name. Throw in Enshittification and the above seems to the next logical move by companies looking to move off these apps.
