Solo here, no devs to fire. What's changed is the bar for "worth building" dropped massively. Stuff I'd have shelved as too small to justify the time, I just do now. The risk is that you end up with a lot of half-finished things if you're not disciplined about finishing.

People tend to forget that big businesses have been bootstrapped with worse stuff than some MVP vibe code website.

I have a vague memory of a hotel reservation "app" that was just putting lines in a Google Sheet where the founders grabbed the info, called the hotels themselves and reserved the room.

When they got too many requests to keep up, they slowly automated the bits they could one by one.
