How is this going to get customers?

I don't get the concept. A small business can pay Salesforce $25 per month per seat, or they can hire somebody technical - at more expense - to take total responsibility for a self-hosted instance by installing it, securing it, backing it up, updating it, and dealing with downtime when the vibecoded mess inevitably has an update that breaks it...

...why?

The thing is there's almost always an open source option in every category.. this just adds more noise and confusion amongst those which potentially benefits the proprietary winner

The GitHub repo makes it seem like it’s just one dude and a Claude subscription.

these projects don't look very complete

Hmm, creative interpretation of things here. Using AI to copy existing products feels a lot like code/license laundering or something. I feel like there should be a name for this sort of thing. I didn't love it when I read about Adobe's (fuck Adobe) stuff getting hard ripped, and I don't love that vibe bros are going to further lower the bar for getting a decent product out without getting immediately copied and I HATE that these guys trying to position themselves as revolutionaries/robin hoods while using stolen IP (AI) to generate clones of existing products.

More and more I feel negative about my future in software.

What a weird idea. “We were fired, so let’s give thousands of dollars to the AI providers to copy existing software”, how can that help anyone? Why not use that energy to build new ideas that compete with the existing ones, instead of this focus on cloning what is successful? That feels so anti-hacker mentality to me

Main focus should be making open weight models to go after the root companies that put you in this position to start with, I suggest.

The part I find funny is they didn't hire a website designer to make the website, they used AI.
