No, I just read a tweet yesterday saying that someone paid $10 per month for a stretching app, even though he could have vibecoded it in a weekend. But he didn't because of convenience.
No one can vibe-code every app they need. Maintaining everything is hard, and it drains your energy, even if you're really good at a lot of things.
Doing all sorts of things instead of focusing on your business can be a distraction. And because of AI, you can do so much more now, so distraction is something you really need to avoid.
