I think vibecoding itself is the substance. Like enabling people who don't have software engineering or code writing experience to actually develop software is a value in itself. I don't think there needs to be any other proof of concept than a layman can hop on to lovable base 44. Intermediates can grab cursor and Claude Code and just rip through potential project lists to test things out and see where they could go. I guess my opinion is the tool is the product in this case. Most canvases that get sold don't go to professional artists; they go to amateurs. That's mostly what the canvas market is comprised of: people who want to be artists, though they'll never sell a painting.
