   I do think a lot of startups, especially on HN, are in for a reckoning that your new vibecoded product/service or one with an AI feature or two added will survive. Everything you do is going to feed the model, that's the training data now. That's why Claude is so cheap for what it does.

   You cannot prompt Claude better than your customer can. There is no realistic moat there. You will not survive.

      This is naive, and assumes every vibe coded app proffered by a startup always lacks expertise and a unique point of view.

         If you had expertise, you wouldn't be vibe coding, because then your product would be much better than the slop the LLM is capable of producing.

            How does that make sense? The expertise is what allows me to tell the LLM what to do in the first place, inspect its outputs, and iterate, which is still faster than coding by hand.
