you cant easily vibecode everything. in my startup this is what I am not buying (and vibecoding):
- JIRA/trello/monday.com - benchling - obsidian
this is what i buy and have no intent to replace:
- carta - docusign - gusto/rippling - bank
this is what might be on the chopping block:
- gsuite
I'm curious about your reasoning. Jira/Trello etc. are like $10/mo/seat, why bother rewriting them from scratch? You'll spend more in tokens doing so. Same for gmail/google calendar, what's the ROI? Those tools are reliable and cheap, why bother creating your own?
jira/trello: ergonomics. to set them up correctly exactly the way i want would take me 20 hours (or hire a PM), i can vibecode for 20h and get the same result.
plus, being able to crossref internal data types is chef's kiss.
im paying for claude pro so it's use it or lose it. when i finish everything and have it battle tested i can end my claude code. and anyways when i have 10 employees, it's parity.
for gsuite: i want to own everything internally eventually ans having internal xrefs will be nice. the gsuite data is incidental, what is truly valuable about gsuite is spam detection and the oauth capability
Why not Docusign? Not challenging, just curious why that is specifically on your list. Reputation?
the common factor was sort of left as an exercise to the reader to think about moats in the age of AI... but basically anything that has touchpoints to the legal and financial systems im not gonna touch with a 20 ft vibecoded pole.
