...and ultra high velocity single human person agent swarm vibe coded replacements for existing software and SaaS should come out en masse. Where are they?

I understand Codex had 500k weekly users at the beginning of the year, now they have 4M.

GPT 5.4 came out at the start of March, GPT 5.5 end of April.

What do you expect, that we all go to market with a Photoshop competitor within two months?

Edit: and I can't provide any more replies since once again some automatic system or a mod rate limited my account for whatever reason.

		You seem to be arguing that vibecoding photoshop wasn't possible up until 2 months ago, with GPT 5.4/5.5. That's a very, very weird take on many, many levels. Could you elaborate a bit about where that view came from, how often you use AI, what's your career etc.?

In b4 agents have been shit up until a month ago. There hasn’t been much time yet!!

This is pretty much true.

Before Codex with GPT 5.4 and 5.5 I was working on a single feature only, no parallel conversations, and a ton of permission prompts would make it impossible for the agent to even work for five minutes on its own.

Times have changed.

People like you write a whole lot.

Talk about the numbers.

Cost reduction and revenue generation.

Anything else irrelevant - nobody cares. The world is about making money and moving things forward.

		I hope to publish my app in a month or two, after sufficient polish, market research, and App Store optimization. As I said, it's not exactly realistic to ask for numbers and a Photoshop competitor within two months.
