    Vibe coding has genuinely changed who can build - the barrier to shipping something working is at an all-time low. But there's a new bottleneck emerging: operational infrastructure.

    Founders who couldn't code before can now build their MVP in a weekend. What they still can't do is systematically track who's using it, what's working, and how to grow it. The distribution and business-ops layer hasn't been 'vibe coded' yet.

    The next wave of tools will probably address this: help founders not just build the product but build the operational layer around it (CRM, revenue tracking, user behavior visibility) without requiring them to stitch together 6 different SaaS products. The vibe coding trend accelerates everything before product-market fit; the operational layer is what makes post-PMF growth possible.
