definitely correct and it's a huge opportunity if you're a solo operator
the hard part is persistence. Even if you vibecode a fully working frontend/backend you still have to do the following
- find a few initial users who like the product enough to use it twice
- collect user feedback
- marketing/advertising/social media (unless you have actually "built a better mousetrap")
- evaluate product metrics
because if you made something, someone else can just ask Cursor/Claude to clone yours. The original startup itself can integrate whatever new features you made to their product.
the only resource you have anymore is attention. if you're only dedicating 5% of it to a vibecoded website, a team of employees dedicating 10% is going to just do what you did
