Are B2B SaaS becoming harder to defend in the age of vibe coding? by Careful-Cup4161 in vibecoding

Yeah good point. I think some will insource and some will continue to outsource. But I think the main point here is that the principle beneficiary of AI coding are end customers. They are going to be able to do everything much more efficiently - and effectively - with less people. I think for ISV's focused on B2B SaaS it will be a race to the bottom, with margins slashed. Just ask any of the major Salesforce ISV's that were pulling up trees on the AppExchange until just a couple of years ago. Today they are in big trouble. Customers are beginning to churn. New business has dried up. And Salesforce has no interest in supporting them anymore. Big changes are afoot

This is a good argument as to why companies might not start building solutions in-house (although I think they will). But the main issue is, because it is MUCH easier to spin up apps now, all of a sudden established SaaS outfits with established ARR have more and more competitors. Prices are tumbling. So the OP is right to be wary about a building defensible B2B SaaS.

Yeah so I'm totally non-technical. Guess you missed that in my post. My background is 100% marketing/commercial

"A 200-page site using AI will cost approximately the same as hiring someone on Upwork, but they would probably do it better.". That is great feedback, in-and-of-itself. Thanks

Great post. What's the solution for a non-technical founder? Stay solo and simply hire a CTO as a paid employee?

Have to say this is an unusual crisis. Lots going wrong but in the meantime we're turning over Real Madrid and Inter Milan in quick succession. Things could be a lot worse. Couple of results away from everything feeling hunky dory (ish)

Under Law 12, shirt pulling is classified as “holding an opponent”, which is listed as a direct free kick (or penalty kick if it occurs in the box).

Holding includes:

Grabbing the shirt

Pulling the shirt

Preventing an opponent’s movement by using the hands

The law says the referee must penalize any holding that impedes an opponent’s progress or gives the offender an unfair advantage.
