Even beyond the engineering there are 100 other things to do.

I launched a vibe coded product a few months ago. I spent the majority of my time

- making sure the copy / presentation was effective on product website

- getting signing certificates (this part SUCKS and is expensive)

- managing release version binaries without a CDN (stupid)

- setting up LLC, website, domain, email, google search indexing, etc, etc

Agreed. However, I just recently "launched" a side project and Cloudflare made a lot of the stuff you mentioned easier. I also found that using AI helped with setting up my LLC when I had questions.
Getting legal advice from AI is certainly an option you can take.
Legal advice is maybe the worst thing to get from an LLM.
Exactly. The "writing code" part is literally the easiest part of building a software business. And that was even before LLM assisted coding. Now it's pretty much trivial to just spew slop code until something works. The hard parts are still: making the right thing, making it good, getting feedback and idea validation, and the really hard part is turning it into a business.
