Ask HN: Is "Not vibe-coded here" the new "Not invented here"?
Lately, something has been bugging me. Whenever I share my software business ideas with friends, I often get the same response: "That’ll die soon. Customers will make it themselves." or, if I rephrase it, "Why would I buy it? I just vibe-code it."
It made me realize that I’ve heard something similar before. The infamous "Not Invented Here" syndrome. Are we entering a new era of dismissing products simply because people think they are too easy to build in-house with AI? Is the perceived ease of AI-generation making us blind to the value of a verified, functional product?
