The changing landscape of building and selling in the age of vibe coding

As Kaamfu prepares for its first U.S. soft launch, we are shifting into a market transformed by “vibe coding” tools that make it easy to create startups without depth or purpose. This surge of shallow innovation has flooded the space with noise, making true attention harder to earn. For those of us who built carefully and intentionally, the path forward is clear: stand firm in quality, clarity, and lasting value while the noise fades.


For the past month, I have been shifting from build and define mode to distribute and sell mode as we prepare for Kaamfu’s first soft launch in the American market. It feels like a major turning point. After years of building quietly and methodically, we are stepping into the noise—into an environment that looks very different from when we began.

In the last few years, the rise of “vibe coding” tools has made it easier than ever for anyone to spin up a startup. With drag-and-drop builders, AI-generated code, and no-code automation, entire companies can be assembled in days. On the surface, that sounds exciting. It democratizes creation and makes the barrier to entry nearly zero. I don’t think it has led to more great software; instead, it has generated a surge of activity without much depth.

This new class of founders often does not come from strong business or technical backgrounds. Many are not building from a deep sense of problem or purpose; they are building because it is possible, looks easy, and feels like the thing to do. What results is an explosion of noise competing for the same customers, investors, and attention that used to be reserved for products with stronger foundations just a year ago.

For those of us who have spent years building something durable and lasting, this new reality presents both a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge is clear: we are entering a marketplace that is more crowded, distracted, and saturated with surface-level innovation. The opportunity, however, lies in differentiation through depth.

When the noise grows loud, people eventually search for what is real. They begin to crave substance. They look for systems that endure, that are supported by sound architecture, tested principles, and a clear vision. These are the companies that will still be standing when the novelty of vibe coding wears off.

As Kaamfu enters this next phase, I am reminded that attention is no longer freely given: it must be earned through great products that solve real problems and are built on solid foundations. Those who built in silence must now speak with conviction. And as the noise grows, our task is not to shout louder, but to stand firmer in what we have built and let the quality of our work cut through the noise.

Every organization is in the race to autonomy

Autonomization is not a distant future. The race is on, and the organizations preparing today will be the ones that win tomorrow.
