I had the same thought - that its end of software startups since most people can develop software on their own now using LLMs. But seeing how people use LLMs to develop the app made me realize that there is a difference in knowing how software is built vs just vibe coding it. For example - only a good s/w engineer would know to include CI/CD pipeline which will help her deploy changes faster. A person who is not familiar with s/w is not gonna do that unless they dig a little more deeply OR follows an advise from a good model. In 2 months time, the non s/w engineer is gonna drown in keeping up with all the pieces of the product without regression. So startups who provide value in short cycles would still be in demand. The cycle time of requirement -> delivery is gonna be very short.
