People vibe one-off solutions for themselves all the time. They just don't have the desire to productionalize them. Frankly, product knowledge is something LLMs are not that good at

Same. I hate doing mobile coding, but just in the last few months I AI-coded 3 apps specifically for my needs. They'll never get released publicly, because they'd need polish and features that I don't care about personally. They potentially replace some SaaS too.

In context, it sounds like you are saying you used AI to make these three applications?

Why can't AI add the polish and features also?

		It can. It's just not needed for my own apps. It would be needed for a public release and I'm just... not interested in that enough. It would cost me time and likely never get enough return.

What did the 3 apps do?

I did the same for one app to give me my speed in MPH as huge text as a HUD in a car

		Very specific training app for guitar with spaced repetition, automated message forwarder (all good ones demand subscription), and something very specific to me.

Low code solutions like PowerApps I bang out stuff like this all the time. If your use case is limited enough, it makes lazy developers very productive.
