I think we are potentially within reach of a time when the above bolded part is more important than people realize. I know we're wired to say "but can I sell it?", but there's an interesting shift when the attention turns to creating one-off software solutions for your very strange unique-to-you problems.
I have a buddy that was starting up a small business, and when it came time to pick a CRM to manage his future clients, he just sorta made one. It's not a world-beater, and it's easily dwarfed by options readily available, but he didn't need anything robust. He needed to collect names, contact info, and notes.
This was not completely necessary (more of a test to see if he could), but it was such an easy win, he started creating all sorts of one-off solutions for weird problems he was running into.
I don't think anybody is replacing dropbox anytime soon with some weird hacky vibe-coded thing, but for those "why can't we just get a dashboard that shows me <thing>" problems, it's getting frightfully straightforward.
