vibe-coding-one-person-80m-exit

Insight: Maor Shlomo built Base44 (a platform for building apps by describing them to AI) solo in 6 months and sold it to Wix for $80M. This is cited as the clearest signal that the gap between idea and product is collapsing, challenging assumptions about team size requirements for innovation.

Detail: Dragffy frames this as evidence for several claims: (1) cross-domain generalists will thrive while narrow specialists get sidelined, (2) software that doesn't become agent-driven will be left behind, (3) the UX profession must adapt to "interfaces vanishing" as creation becomes conversational. The article links to labor displacement data (SSRN study, Challenger Gray & Christmas layoff data, WEF projections, Dario Amodei predictions). While the $80M exit is a real data point, the broader claims about team obsolescence should be treated as prediction rather than established fact.
