Vibe coding is a lot more fun than getting rejected 100 times a day. People want to vibe code a CRM. Let's break down the math how much is a CRM per month like 50, 60 bucks per seat. Yeah. How much do you think a business owner values their time at like average $100 an hour? Probably. If it takes two weeks to build full time, let's say 100 hours, that's $10,000, right? Then you have edge cases. Then you have to take in everyone's opinions that's using the tool. Then there's going to be bugs, right? So, let's just say you spend five hours a week maintaining it. That's $2,000 a month.
