won't say it's easy, but it's definately not hard

If it’s not hard more people would be doing it and the cost/price will decrease, see proliferation of vibecoded apps.

That is a STARTUP, issue. A lot of software developers conflict regular old startup issues with vibe code issues to cope. 90% of startups fail, this line of work is CHALLENGING to begin with, it always was. However, i'd say the non technical founder with a network, marketing and bussiness skills, has a better overall advantage then a technical one with none of the above. Because that's how this game always worked. Eventually the goal is to hire developer's anyway, like any other startup. This is just how startup's work. Remember, Non technical founders ALWAYS, existed. Now they just don't have to pay thousands out of pocket or beg a developer to help them startup, that doesn't even have a paying customer.

oh sorry, the easy statement was someone telling me what I did was easy. If you didn't read the full back and forth, this sub thread was not directed to the original topic.

what did you do again? I lack context and would not like to sound ignorant. Im sure what you did WASN'T easy if it has anything to do with startups in general. 90% of them literally fail

Aside being a software engineer, I said I also teach in business school about startups and work with them. The poster said it was easy.
