>I'm also only a sample size of one, but I previously offered web development in a similar fashion (pre-LLM) and I found that clients didn't have the working knowledge to even know what they wanted to guide or influence the project in any meaningful way.
Well, I can definitely see it! People jumping onto the vibe-coding bandwagon as if there are no risks.
I think at some point the users will build enough pushback so the vibe coders start looking for engineers to at least prevent a huge flop.

Don't let me deter you, I'm just sharing what derailed me in a different but similar adventure.
Absolutely! I'm not a stranger to Upwork/getafreelancer on both engineer and customer side. The most crazy projects were when people built something from sticks and stones claming that they've done 80% and now need to finish 20%. When in reality it was a good case for a complete rewrite.
