This part is one I have trouble understanding. Why bring on all this anxiety? I can't see an outcome for all this vibecoding except one that involves crashing and burning.

I saw many comments here saying SaaS is dead, for example. That any service can now be vibecoded and replicated internally. And I can't help but think if they've ever tried running, supporting and maintaining a piece of software. The code was never the hardest part. Not even close. In fact, cheap "coding" has been a thing for over 25 years now if that's what you wanted.

To me this feels like saying everyone can be a carpenter now because it's so cheap and easy to just buy a hammer and some nails and go at it.

I do think it's great to hear that people can now vibecode their own custom fit tools that work exactly the way they want them to. But that process is not free.
