I see a lot of potential for vibe coding, it's insane what machines can do these days. But it also worries me in some ways.

One being that if anyone can build an app, developers won't get paid and the market will be oversaturated.

And another being that anyone can build a professional looking app that is really a scam.

I've seen a lot already that to anyone with even a little bit of a technical background can see threw, but not all can.

I feel like it'll be a while before vibe coding works well enough that Devs won't be needed to fix stuff.
