The choice I was offering myself there was specifically between a bad developer abusing open source software and something vibed together to replace that specific function that uses the open source app within its licence. The assumption being those are the only two options.

Obviously a false dichotomy for most real life scenarios but the point being that I'd rather do it myself (any which way) than trust a bad developer, doubly so for customer-facing operations.

If there's another provider offering that function, sure, but let's talk rupees.

Oh yep. Get it now. Yeah vibe coding so to speak opens up other options. Excel on steroids (with the steroids on steroids)
