Original Summary

Now adays with Ai people are saying the saas is dead because instead of buying a subscription they can just make the same app with Ai . but I have question have you forget what all the economy was about ? and the specialization. everyone needs A,B,C ... so everyone is doing those for themselves person X , can do his A very good in less time and better quality . so he do his from some other people in the group in return he get his B,C .... from the specialized ones of the group so he can work half the day and get everything in best quality . you know : "work for each other and pay each other money." now for software and saas , lets say the subscription for saas product X , is 10$/m ... and your Hourly rate is 20$/m and you said why paying 10$ I will make it myself and you spend 50h creating a lesser version that is enough just for you . by less I mean , there is no payment gateway or multi-user login or scaling backend . and lets say for you it works as good as the paid saas one . but those 50h you spend . if you have spent them on a paid work you would have made 1000$ . today. while spending the same hours on the saas copy you saved 10$ this month . and still 990$ left . after 8.2 year of using your vibe coded app only them you would make ROI . and in this 8.2 the app mush work flawlessly if you spend just half an hour on maintenance of the app that month no longer counts . all that and we did not factor in the lost opportunity. like those 1000$ if they got invested with 10% return yearly . so after 8 years that would be 2000$ . so you need to use the app another 10 more years . and by then to total will be 5500$ . so factoring in lost opportunity you would never make an ROI of your "saving" and you did not save any money actually. I dont see a way where the person inhouse vibecoded alternative can win financal and really saves him money , unless he will make it in very short amount of time , or his hourly rate is really low like he is unemployed . thats on small one person scale . now in corporate environment , do you think any company will accept stacy from HR running her vibecoded app , and kevin from accounting running his vibecodeed accounting app . can you imagine what miss that would be .   submitted by   /u/Machine2024 [link]   [comments]
