   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.

      That is simply and obviously not true. Technical expertise is still highly relevant when prompting, reviewing, understanding consequences, and approving.

         Business security through expertise obscurity?

            I mean, that describes pretty much every trade. It's not difficult to turn a pipe wrench, but a plumber knows where and when to turn it.
