If there came anything out of this new AI era, it is that the bar for coding something is massively lowered. I.E., maybe 10-20% of software tasks are now purely vibe codable and maybe 5-10% of them can be completely vibe coded by someone with absolutely 0 coding experience. It is pretty clear that for a majority of software engineering tasks, you still need some kind of programming knowledge or else you will make shit code. But the amount of colleagues, friends, and just random people on the internet that have messaged me asking to me to check out their “demo” for their “b2b saas” is just absolutely mind boggling. It would make you think that 100% of software tasks are now just completely vibe codable, which they are not. Idk if this is because this is their first time these people re entering the “tech” youtube sphere and so all the AI shilling youtube accounts or twitter tech grifters are able to actually trick them into believing that anyone can start a b2b saas. But I cannot wrap my head around how gullible everyone is in believing they can start a software company with 0 coding background. You 95% most likely will not. Can you actually vibe code cool stuff? Yes ofc. But you cannot turn it into a b2b saas anymore. The new playbook is just making it open-source and praying it goes viral on reddit or twitter. Because AI allows us to basically make decently solid tools with almost 0 background ability. But that means everyone can now do this. So if you try to “sell” your product to anyone with any real operating budget at a company, they will immediately chuckle when they see your demo. The second they see your demo, which is so obviously vibecoded with claude because the entire thing uses the same generic claude-design UI (always reminds me of space pinball), they will say “Thank you”, hang up and then either ask one of their employees to vibe code what you just tried to sell them or go on with their day because your service was useless anyway. Am I ok with people spamming my reddit inbox or my feed with their latest open-source claude skill they made or a website that turns docx files into pdfs? Not really. But it is much better than people trying to sell you a b2b saas they made over the weekend until their claude pro usage maxxed out because they gave it the most open-ended prompt ever. submitted by /u/OpinionsRdumb
