My experience is that SMBs are generally not run by people who feel confident doing any kind of self managed IT.
No amount of LLM usage is going to change them into full stack vibe coders who moonlight as sysadmins. I just don't see it happening.
Not until, that is, a new generation, that has grown accustomed to the tech, takes over.
Until then the current SMBs will for the most part fulfill their IT needs from SaaS businesses (of which I think there will be more due to LLMs lowering the barrier for those of us who feel confident in our coding and sysadmin skills already).
Having seen how clueless the new generation is and the amount of brain rot they get from using LLMs over honing their own skills, I'd say it's the opposite...

What new generation? Younger generations are less accustomed to self-managed tech.
This 100% most of new devices are locked, mobile etc.

I assume a vibe coded agent would moonlight as the sysadmin to maintain the vibe coded LoB app.
