Tech influencers selling this idea of vibe coding your own app are only telling you half of the truth. You have this software engineer working, you know, for a corporate or a startup somewhere in, you know, North America, Canada or like Germany. You know, whether he's not very nice, cost of living, it's very high. And then they see these people who are like, you know, all around the world living the dream life, and they say, why not? I I also want the same.
They're probably burning out and sick and tired of all the pressure they have to face at work. The truth is that the probability of success, it's very small when dealing a SAS or a nap. The reason being, it's the market, it's already very saturated. And of course, vibe coding might make building an MVP a lot easier. I agree with that. But in SAS, the barrier of entry, it's not building nor coding.
That's the easy part. The hard part, the barrier, it's actually the cost per user acquisition and the churn. It's marketing and sales skills. It is indeed a gold rush, and most people will die digging. Cuz most projects don't make any money.
