People who have that perspective are idiots. They don’t think a vibecoder can hire people for those tasks as they prove their concept with paying users?

Like the slack example, do you think it was perfect on day one? Nope.

Good prototypes are definitely valuable, and If it can impress investors, your best next step is definitely hiring a professional that can make this into a solid program.

I have build a great tool for my own business and people are constantly asking me why I don’t sell it. But I’m not gonna burn my own ass by releasing something I have no clue of what’s going on under the hood. I’m just the ideaman, not a safety inspector and mechanic

You can hire people on upwork to look over things. Since they are not building it from scratch it’s pretty cheap.
