Is the "Vibe-Coding" era making SaaS a race to the bottom?

Hey everyone,

Last Monday, an employee from Lovable came to my university to present their platform and basically "evangelize" us into building apps.

Watching the demo, I had a bit of an existential crisis. The barrier to entry hasn't just been lowered; it's been nuked. It felt like anyone in that room, even those with zero interest in dev, could now spin up a functional landing page or a basic app before the lecture ended.

Here’s what’s on my mind:

1. Market Saturation: If everyone can "vibe-code" a SaaS in a weekend, are we about to be flooded by a trillion mediocre, identical sites?
2. Competition: The "moat" of being able to actually build a product is gone. It feels like the competition for attention is skyrocketing because the technical cost of entry is near zero.
3. The "Lovable" Factor: To those using it, is it actually production-ready? Or is it just a factory for "pretty-looking prototypes" that break the moment you need complex business logic?

My question to the veterans here: Does it still make sense to jump into the SaaS world as a founder right now? And if the answer is yes, how do you actually stand out in a sea of "vibe-coded" websites?

Is the only way forward to build "boring" mission-critical software that AI still struggles to architect, or is it all about marketing now?

Curious to hear your thoughts on the "Lovable era"
