I think this puts the onus in the wrong direction. I _love_ LLM coding and write probably 70% of my code that way. But having seen its (current) limits, and building a few toy apps myself, I'd love to see examples of successful, complex products that are mostly vibe coded. Until I see that, I'll continue to believe the current crop of LLM is best suited for building prototypes, helping get initial ideas shipped, and helping speed up very experienced developers working in well trodden ground (i.e. mostly CRUD in popular languages / frameworks), because that's what most peoples experience is (at best - many here wouldn't be nearly as generous as my takes). |

Same thing with competitor monitoring. These tools require scraping multiple sites, checking X, Facebook, Jobs sites, Crunchbase, etc, aggregating data and displaying and making sense of changes. And the same multi-process management, queuing, and Stripe integrations.
A few years ago, these would both fit into businesses requiring many months of development to get it all running. Now we are seeing dozens of companies emerging in each of these categories each month as they take weeks to build. And if one finds a cool aha (a new integration or graph or UX flow or positioning) the others can quickly follow in a week or less of AI-agent coding.
There are dozens of other categories where this is happening too.
The hard part of figuring out the nuances of the APIs and integrations and retries and AWS integrations and Rabbit MQ configurations and corner cases can all be done by AI with the right context.
