When an LLM can rewrite it in 24 hours and fill the missing parts in minutes that argument is hard to defend.

I can vibe code what a dev shop would charge 500k to build and I can solo it in 1-2 weeks. This is the reality today. The code will pass quality checks, the code doesn’t need to be perfect, it doesn’t need to be cleaver it needs to be.

It’s not difficult to see this right? If an LLM can write English it can write Chinese or python.

Then it can run itself, review itself and fix itself.

The cat is out of bag, what it will do to the economy… I don’t see anything positive for regular people. Write some code has turned into prompt some LLM. My phone can outplay the best chess player in the world, are you telling me you think that whatever unbound model anthropic has sitting in their data center can’t out code you?

Well, where is your competitor to mainstream software products?

		What mainstream software product do I use on a day to day basis besides Claude? The ones that continue to survive all build around a platform of services, MSO, Adobe, etc. Most enterprise product offerings, platform solutions, proprietary data access, proprietary / well accepted implementation. But lets not confuse it with the ability to clone it, it doesnt seem far fetched to get 10 people together and vibe out a full slack replacement in a few weeks.
