Calling all Vibe Coders

Calling all Vibe Coders

Anyone else noticing a tone shift on LinkedIn lately?

This time last year, vibe-coding was everywhere - people were amazed by what they could build with tools like Bolt, Lovable, and OpenAI.

The barrier to software creation dropped overnight, and success stories poured in from non-coders shipping apps on weekends.

Fast forward a year… and the energy feels different.

The first version of an app was just the starting line. Running a SaaS means diving into the unglamorous parts that actually keep it alive:
✅ Troubleshooting what AI can’t see
✅ Scaling and maintaining requests from users
✅ Supporting, selling, and improving your product - over and over again

Those steps aren’t flashy, but they matter more than the initial “aha” moment.

The conversation has shifted from “What can you build?” to “What are you willing to maintain?”

And many early vibe-coders are realizing that building was never the hard part - it’s deciding if this is something you want to grow long-term.

To borrow a baseball analogy: your app might’ve been born on second base, but if you never learned how to run or swing, you’ll struggle to get home.

How have you seen the vibe-coding conversation evolve? In my world, where finance and revenue metrics rule, it’s faded quite a bit. Curious where you’ve seen it still thriving.
