Sure. Anyone can purchase code form an LLM vendor. The more important question is what do you do when things go wrong? Since you didn't code anything (vibe coding is a misnomer) you have no understanding of it. When it breaks or does not work as planned, you are at the mercy of the LLM. That's a hard dependency. Good luck with your purchased code.
- pllbnk 5mo agoSimple - you ask an LLM to fix it. It would be the same hard dependency on a programmer if you hired someone to write code for you as they would need to maintain it and would cost you. LLMs might possibly be interchanged easier than human engineers.

It's no different to a company outsourcing code development for an application to a consultant or another company, just it's using an LLM instead. If that code breaks then the company will need to find another developer to fix it. Sure there are drawbacks to it, but it also lowers the barriers for people to try things out and prototype at low cost and low impact
