Almost exact same experience here, but I'm using Opencode's $10/month sub. It's perma set to DS 4.1 flash and I have anywhere from 3-5 agents going at a time. Never once hit a cap of any sort. I have absolutely no idea why people would be paying $200/mo when you can get perfectly good AI for $10 from multiple places

Do they train on your data? I don't necessarily want competitors to be able to just ask it to make a clone and have it do so from memory next month.

Software has rarely been the moat. Or file formats. You have always been able to reverse engineer them. The problem, always, has been network effects.

I can build an entire, fairly useful, spreadsheet app over a weekend. But can I send my "expenses.cells" files to my accountant? Will it work with the Excel/Google docs he uses?

AI can build or reverse engineer anything as long as you are motivated enough to do it.

One example is Affinity 3 released for free. But it's a huge pain in the ass because all the guides for how to do things are for Photoshop or Affinity 2.

Your vibecoded app won't have years of reddit posts showing how to do things. This also seems to be where LLMs are the weakest at giving advice, they hallucinate 80% of the time I ask them how to do something in Affinity, giving buttons and menus that simply don't exist.

This is a knowledge problem. You can fix it by pointing the model to documentation (if it exists). Otherwise the model will give you the next best guess

Vibecoded apps will have to include MCP servers so the LLM agents can interact with them directly.

Huh? Both Anthropic and OpenAI have computer use tools. I frequently just tell the models to test their own work. I'm a little paranoid so I only grant access to one window and make that window VMware Workstation.

You combine it with /goal. I usually set a goal like "Complete the application defined in goal.md as written. Then test it end to end autonomously using Compter Use. Record all issues discovered during testing in a to-do. Then fix the issues in the to-do. Repeat testing until no more issues are discovered."

This is where some of the readers start thinking about putting some agents to work on making Photoslop.

Does that matter when it can clone it today without the need to train on your specific code?

It isn't about the code. Some of my work is genuinely new science that might offer an AI company a competitive advantage.

I don't see why that is a concern when decomps and recomps are already blooming, they can copy your app down to the atom.
