In LLM era, can software startup survive?

3•sjia•44m ago
Nowadays, vibe coding is everywhere. Turning an idea into software is just matter of tokens. I was joking the other day. Creating a tax return softwar is much faster than purchasing Turbotax at Costco.

Large companies still have compute resources and customer bases. For startup, users are expecting open source and free software. Posts of subscription or one-time purchase software on Reddit will get tons of downvotes instantly.

The environment of computation and it's interactions in the 7 day week of a modern classed society is open to debate and great thought will come from it to solve the problems of mere boredom , as well as the vital life sustaining things people need.

The code was never the hard part. Understanding the market, developing product market fit, and evolving is the hard part.

Large companies aren't going to chase every opportunity.

Large companies are working hard on laying off and buying out real persons for GPU compute budget.

If you are settled with distribution channels, can productize the solution or convert the startup feom product one to a service model then you are probably safe. The development itself is cheap and has no moat.

Settleing channels are hard for small businesses.
