But we are kind of in a inverse situation, a huge amount of software is a one size fits all solution. Probably every small SaaS starts out with a number of extremely happy customers, but scaling means you can't satisfy everyone, so happiness turns into frustration. Big tech also supplies a lot of software that is one size fits all and not everyone is perfectly happy with.
If creation of customized software solutions is consistently getting cheaper and good enough in quality, the near future is about creating much more custom solutions for considerable smaller customer or consumer groups.
Mind that we still need people who understand tech and verify that a system does what it claims to do, in a safe and efficient way. Every non-technical vibe coder will at some point realize, that he maybe can prompt away every problem he has, but that is still considerable effort and also includes all the mistakes a professional already eradicated from his habits. Many vibe coded projects will also collapse under their own weight, rethinking a strategy - with tech in mind - is also professional effort.
Even if LLMs would produce perfect, high quality code all the time, instructing the "perfect" prompt is still a human problem. LLMs cannot mind read and fully understand the environmental and social circumstances. Understanding these things and model them into solutions, are also human problems.
All this still requires profound technical knowledge, even more now considering security is under fire.
