Devibecoding as a Service? 💡

Apparently my brain won't stop thinking about vibecoding today so here is another one.

🚀 In my previous posts I defined vibecoding as code nobody fully understands, and devibecoding as the process of making it yours. But what if you can't or don't want to do that yourself?

🏢 I think there's a business model emerging here. More and more startups and small companies vibecode their MVPs. Some of those actually get traction. And suddenly you have a prototype that works, has users, maybe even revenue — but the code underneath is a black box nobody on the team truly understands.

🔧 Enter devibecoding as a service. A spectrum from self-help to full takeover:

⚡ Tools that help you understand and restructure your own vibecoded codebase
⚡ Consulting and code audits that identify the critical gaps
⚡ Full transformation — taking a vibecoded prototype and turning it into a maintainable business application

🤔 This isn't entirely new — agencies have always rescued messy codebases. But the scale could be different. If vibecoding lowers the barrier to building software, the number of prototypes that need "growing up" will explode.

💬 Think of it as the natural next step: vibecoding creates, devibecoding matures. And there might be a whole industry in between.

Would you pay for devibecoding as a service? Or is "just rewrite it properly" always the better answer?

“Over the past three-and-a-half decades, #India's #SoftwareIndustry has created millions of #WhiteCollar jobs, spawning a new #MiddleClass driven by high ambition and strong purchasing power. This, in turn, has fuelled demand for apartments, cars and restaurants across top-tier cities such as #Bengaluru, #Hyderabad and #Gurugram over the past 30 years.

The #NiftyITIndex of 10 of the country's biggest software companies is down some 20% this year, wiping out tens of billions of dollars in investor money.
The #SellOff began early in February after #Anthropic's #Claude agent released a new tool that it claimed could automate key legal, compliance and data processes, hitting at the heart of the #LabourHeavy industry's #BusinessModel.”

Watch the Enshittificator

"Digital products and services keep getting worse. In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it. The report shows how this phenomenon affects both consumers and society at large, but that it is possible to turn the tide." >>

Je vois fleurir les infos de pénurie de #RAM et de #SSD, parce que les boîtes d’#IA ont tout préréservé… Et si c’était ça, leur premier #BusinessModel rentable ?
> Commander toute la RAM et les SSD de la Terre.
> Voir les prix s’envoler.
> Soit revendre en direct, soit accepter que les fabricants remboursent la réservation avec une marge.
> Gagner de l’argent sans rien faire, au lieu d’en perdre à faire tourner des #LLM.

(Cette réflexion est inspirée par l’histoire d’une usine qui avait été mise à l’arrêt, parce que leur contrat gaz à prix fixe était tellement sous le prix du marché qu’ils gagnaient davantage en acceptant le deal de GDF : les payer pour ne pas les livrer.)
