That's really cool because when a client builds something, Alex, they have to explain their needs to somebody. And then if they have to explain it to somebody, then they will misinterpret those things. They have to go back and there's a loop, right? So you have a project manager sitting between the customer and the developers, maybe you have a UX designer in there as well. And it's slow.

But if you're the customer and you're coding, you know exactly what you want. So you just build it. There is a significant chance that people who are on the margins of doing development will learn how to do it, just like you had designers who didn't do UX. They just worked in Photoshop, they didn't work in Figma, and then they were like, wait a second, this isn't so difficult. And then some of them learn JavaScript and how to do the front-end code.

So that's what I think is more likely is you'll see UX designers being able to vibe code and actually write code, ship code. You might see developers, you know, some of them actually have dabbled in UX design. you know, and you get this like not just full stack developer, which really means like the back end, the front end. You might actually have a compression of design, UX, back end, front end, and just one person vibecodes their way to excellence.
