> - I'm itching at the chance to build my own phone operating system, and there must be thousands of others who want to do the same.

Maybe look into contributing to existing alternatives like PostmarketOS.

Please don't send vibecoders to established open source projects . Your literally sabotaging them if you succeed.

PostmarketOS is cool.

Let me revise that super abbreviated prognostication to hint at what I was really trying to say.

I think a lot of people are going to start to look at replacing Android and iOS, and some of these will be decently funded teams. Some perhaps not even based in the US.

Attacking the phone market used to be unthinkable. Not even Facebook could pull it off.

But now? I think it's open season again.

Even if the problems to solve are truly deeper than they appear, LLMs are going to give people so much energy to look past the difficulty.
