sorry, I keep misreading that word as slopreneurs - though I suppose that's not entirely wrong either

I recently tried it as a solopreneur (you don't really need to leave your job anymore since AI multiplied early-stage coding capacity significantly). Even on my tiny niche (notekeeper + AI assistant for dungeons and dragons), there's a ridiculous amount of competition (1).

I think these are the times of "marketing engineers", aka people who manage to make small tools/gimmicks that draw attention on social media. If you figure out how to do this, you'll be the king of the age of AI software.

>or now vibe-codes their own tools

I was going to say, you're probably in an over-saturated niche given the overlap of coding types and roleplaying types.

Something like landscaping, plumbing, trades type folk likely have less vibe code pressure in their markets.
