He never said that companies will trust a one man shop. His point was clearly that people and companies will make products designed for themselves, using LLMs.

Why pay for a piece of software that you really only use 5% of all the features, and still may need customizations for. Vs just internally have somebody code a custom solution for your company.

The only benefit of a outside solution is that you can blame a outsider. Internal solution used to be bad because if the person with the knowledge of the codebase left, you ended up screwed. But with LLMs and "vibe" coding, there becomes a disconnect between the code and whoever wrote it. Making it easier to later make modifications on that same codebase, using ... LLMs.

We have seen this before with home grown VB apps, excel spreadsheets with VBScript, FoxPro etc. How has that turned out every single time as requirements changed and the number of people dependent on it grew?

I think in a couple of years we are going to same type of mess. We are already seeing a bunch of shitty AI companies getting funded with no technical cofounders. Look at a few of the YC companies
