why not just vibe code this?
1 comments

several of our customers have tried. Turns out the long tail is very long, and the amount of maintenance/edge cases/access control issues/quality issues explodes dramatically. It's a tremendous amount of work to get right, especially as a company grows. If you have been able to vibe code this and see great results, would love to learn what you've done!
aren't the edge cases not generalizable and specific to the business? It doesn't seem like a one size fits all solution would work
Let me rephrase: vibe-coding something that will solve 80% of a company's problems in this domain still takes a tremendous amount of work, more than it seems on first glance, and it isn't worth the effort for many teams. We focus on solving this problem to the Nth level, full time, so that a company can exclusively focus on the things that are truly specific to them.
