> stuff that’s a giant boondoggle to replicate because there are so many edge cases and considerations that it takes years of iterations to arrive at something stable.

The catch here though is that you don't need to replicate all of the giant boondoggle with your vibe coded solution.

For eg. Pagerduty does not handle payments in our country "properly". So we are replacing it. Pagerduty likely does a gazillion things but we only care about a tiny subset of that. And that we can build with an agent now.

And there am talking about Pagerduty that's already a rather narrowly focused SaaS product. If you consider the SAPs and the various ERPs and billing systems etc. out there they are much much more vulnerable since most firms just use a tiny tiny fraction of these giant behemoth software.
