    Talk to friends and family, see if you can build something to solve their problems that doesn’t exist yet (or cost too much or does a poor job). The more removed they are from the tech sector the better.

    OR - do general client work (cold call or go door-to-door) and try to find gaps that way. Maybe you corner the market on sub-industrial sprinkler repair management software.

    Our industry is hostile to vibecoded tools while the rest of the world waits for us to replace their legacy garbage with something better, vibecoded or not.

      I really thought that vibecoded tools will be next gen of tools to be used in corporate industry/enterprise, but they just dont want it anywhere near. The demos are cool but that's far as it goes. I did read that maintenance becomes a hurdle.

        I guess the solution is to just not mention it >:)

        Are you sure it wasn’t for normal sales reasons? IMO that’s where the competition will always be, regardless of AI.

    Think from first principles. Look at waste and reduce it.
