If vibe coding works well enough, maybe the entire saas industry can be disrupted out of existence.

We'll replace bland, uninspired, rent-seeking but convenient ffmpeg-as-a-service SaaS tools at a 100x markup by automatically generated, vibe coded tools you can let an AI produce and host in some centralized cloud location at a 10x markup. Thus advancing the inexorable process of disintermediation by technology, turning everyone into a consumer and cutting out middle men everywhere.

Until it's only you and Jensen Huang sitting on top of a pile of your cash, shitting out NVIDIA cards like the sandworms in Dune shit out Spice.

Nah, I expect vibe-coding tooling will soon enough be directing users to use “partner” services and away from free tools. The non-techie users won’t know ffmpeg exists, they’ll just know about the video-oriented SaaS subscriptions the chatbot suggests when they ask.
