There's a number that keeps showing up in conversations about the vibe coding wave.

$4.7 billion.

That's the size of the vibe coding tools market in 2026. Growing at 38% annually.

And separately.. 78% of enterprise teams say they plan to build more custom tools this year. More than a third have already replaced at least one SaaS product with something they built themselves using AI.

Most funnel builders look at those numbers and feel the floor shift.

More people building their own things means fewer people hiring someone to build for them. That's the math everyone's running. And it feels airtight.

Here's what the math is missing.

Every construction boom in history has produced two things: buildings.. and people who fix buildings when they break.

The builders always come first. The fixers always come after.

Right now, we are in the largest software construction boom in history. Apps are being launched by coaches, consultants, course creators, and small business owners who have never written a line of code. They're doing it fast. They're doing it with high fidelity to what they had in mind.

And almost none of it comes with a maintenance plan.

The programs teaching people to build with AI teach the launch. They don't teach the lifecycle. They don't teach what happens when the integration croaks three months in.. when the edge case surfaces at user 200.. when something breaks on a Sunday and the person who built it by prompting has no idea where to look.

The wave created the buildings. Nobody planned for the maintenance. That's the gap.

And gaps are where professionals get paid.

The funnel builder who positions as the person who owns what gets built.. not just the one who builds it.. is stepping into a role that barely exists yet. Fix what breaks. Charge for it. Get on retainer. Expand from there.

The gold rush is everything that gets built and then needs someone behind it.

That's the unclaimed side of the vibe coding wave. And it's being stocked every single day.

I'm doing a free training this Thursday where I'm going to walk through exactly how to position for this.. and what it looks like to turn broken apps into recurring revenue.
