Everyone non-technical I know who vibe coded either ran into a bug they couldn't fix or abandoned their project.

I would love to see Lovable.dev's financials, I think they're running the classic low retention, high marketing dollar consumer playbook and are burning cash fast. Base44 seems to do the same thing after getting acquired by Wix, I'm seeing more and more of their ads.

As someone technical, vibe coding makes me feel disconnected from my product and feel like I don't know what's going on. I eventually just need to dive back into the code and find many things I need to change myself.

There sadly isn't much in the ways of masterclasses and apprenticeships these days that target established professionals, sadly. In any job sector. The userbase of trying to get started in XYZ will always be a larger, more vulnerable one to target. Even if you're honestly trying to educate the masses it only makes sense to focus on beginners first. Experts will eventually find their way, and the intermediate is this nebulous field that few even know how to target.
