    There is a law in software engineering called “ninety-ninety rule”

    The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of development time; the remaining 10% accounts for the other 90%.

    which can be interpreted as “final touches are the most difficult”.

    I think it is also true for vibecoding. As seen in a video I’ve posted, although the app works, there are some small faults yet to be fixed. And as seen in commit history of PhotoCraft - the work isn’t finished, it currently intensifies

      For how many users will the free unfinished or unpolished software be enough? If developers income’s are ripped off by some cat interacting with Claude, then software development outside of the commercial space becomes available only to those who are willing to do so at the expense of their own time.
