A lot of discussions around vibe AI coding flaws: awful architecture, performance problems, security holes, lack of maintainability, bugs, and low code quality. All correct, but none of those is matter if: - you create small utility that covers only features needed only for you. As many researches show that any individual uses only less than 20% of software functionality, your tool covers only 10-20% that matters for you - it only runs locally, on user computer or phone, and never has more than one customer. Performance, security, compliances do not matter - the code lies next to application, and small enough to fix any bug instantly, in a single AI agent run - as a single user, you don't care about design, UX, or marketing. Do the job is only matter It means, majority of vibe coded applications run under radar, used only by a few individuals. I can see it myself: I have a bunch of vibe code utilities that never intended for a broad auditory . And, many of my friend and customers, mention the same: "I vibe coded utility that does ... for me". This means a big consequences for software development: the area for commercial development shrinks, nothing that can be replaced by the small local utility has a market value. | ||
