I think "vibe coding" will not replace developers in the short term, but it will be the strongest competition for such simple systems. I asked a few LLMs to make apps like these (plain HTML with embedded JS), and they got it right after a few edits. They are also visually more appealing [1].

Vibe coding seems to be synonymous with "sort of works, bunch of bugs"

If you can get over the critical errors. That's the showstopper for most non-programmers. Perhaps not as much for the so-called "power users" who can hack together some Excel VBA, but even then there's a lot of setup to get simple projects rolling. Down to the little things like knowing that a .js file is a JavaScript file (and what that means). It's obvious to us, but definitely not to the average person, unless they're willing to invest significant time into it - which most aren't.
