What, because it only takes three months to build a SaaS for a florist?

If it took 12 months to build a SaaS for a florist nobody would build a SaaS for a florist.





Yeah exactly. It is basically a commodity at this point - and in commodities margins are like 3% and there is nothing you can compete on except price - which becomes a race to the bottom. And there is no booming industry where this is the case.

Of course, saas for florists does exist https://www.strelitziasoftware.com/our-story/

But still you can compete on prize or provide proper localization. In your link they share the are based in UK and available in 7 countries. Something that took half a year and a few devs now it can be done by one indie in 1 month living in cheaper country and charging 1/5th and still be happy about it.

How ever will humanity survive without vibe coded florist SaaS

All that matters if the florists are happy with it -- extrapolate that to humanity as you wish.

You may as well have just not left a comment because that means absolutely nothing in this discussion

Humanity will clearly also survive without cars and shoes. What's your point?

Yes because the societal benefit of vibe coded florist SaaS is directly comparable to the societal benefit of cars and shoes. Great argument.
