I penned this 'prediction' to be published in some magazine or another, shortly, but as nobody reads those anymore: Prediction for 2026: The Real Impact of Vibe Coding Isn’t What You Think 2026 won’t be the year vibe coding takes over software development. It’ll be the year many “vibe coders” realize that while these tools are incredible for getting from zero to one (building internal tools, prototypes, or early-stage apps) they start to crumble when the work gets serious. Shipping a mobile app isn’t just about getting something running. You need to compile builds, submit to app stores, fix bugs without breaking your entire app, and add features without introducing chaos. Those are all things vibe coding isn’t great at, or at least, not yet. What we will see is a massive increase in the amount of software being built. A skilled software engineer with a vibe-coding assistant will be 10x as productive, and that multiplier will spark a wave of creativity. Developers won’t have to chase the biggest total addressable market anymore: They can afford to build niche, high-quality products for specific audiences. Before, “a yoga app for women in menopause” might’ve felt too small to be worth building. Now, with the cost of development dropping, that same app suddenly makes sense. The app stores won’t be flooded with the type of “slop” that’s flooding social networks: They’ll be filled with more personal, purpose-built apps solving problems that used to be too niche to tackle. People will use more apps, pay more for apps, and the app economy will have its best year ever.

For those curious, the reason this happens is that we were early adopters of digital voting in the early 2000's, but discovered that there was a risk of votes being 'readable' remotely (so it was about the right to cast you vote anonymously, rather than vote tampering). All the polling stations had already gotten rid of the ballet boxes, so they took something they could get in bulk at the last minute: Trash bins. And we've been using those for 2 decades now, because they work and we already paid for them 😅

Voted in the Dutch elections this year. Ballots are casted in trash bins (been the case for most of the years I’ve been allowed to vote, so don’t really think about it much, but I guess it’s pretty unusual 😅)

Looks like genAI “UGC” is the new growth hack: mass-produce fake influencers, flood TikTok with slop, cash the installs, burn the village (no way consumers will continue to fall for this long term). Please just build something people need 🙏

Just for sh*ts and giggles, ask any of your normie (not in the app's space) friends what apps they pay for Now ask them if they 'shopped around' and picked the app with the lowest price As a space, b2c apps are obviously heating up, but - rather then drive down prices - the exact opposite is happening Folks compete on ad platforms to get users (who primarily actually *don't* shop around), which drives up acquisition costs, which forces apps to optimize monetization so they can compete while CAC is increasing Will be a few months before @RevenueCat's State of Subscription Apps 2026 is out, but I'm calling it now: Conversion rates have increased (again), and revenue per user has increased (again)

Please clap
