Even beyond the engineering there are 100 other things to do. I launched a vibe coded product a few months ago. I spent the majority of my time - making sure the copy / presentation was effective on product website - getting signing certificates (this part SUCKS and is expensive) - managing release version binaries without a CDN (stupid) - setting up LLC, website, domain, email, google search indexing, etc, etc | ||

Agreed. However, I just recently "launched" a side project and Cloudflare made a lot of the stuff you mentioned easier. I also found that using AI helped with setting up my LLC when I had questions. | ||

Exactly. The "writing code" part is literally the easiest part of building a software business. And that was even before LLM assisted coding. Now it's pretty much trivial to just spew slop code until something works. The hard parts are still: making the right thing, making it good, getting feedback and idea validation, and the really hard part is turning it into a business. | ||
