I have a friend who has been doing just that... usually with his company he manages a handful of projects where a bulk of the development is outsourced overseas. This past year, he's outpaced the 6 devs he's had working on misc projects just with his own efforts and AI. Most of this being a relatively unique combination of UX with features that are less common.
He's using AI with note taking apps for meetings to enhance notes and flush out technology ideas at a higher level, then refining those ideas into working experiments.
It's actually impressive to see. My personal experience has been far more disappointing to say the least. I can't speak to the code quality, consistency or even structure in terms of most people being able to maintain such applications though. I've asked to shadow him through a few of his vibe coding sessions to see his workflow. It feels rather alien to me, again my experience is much more disappointing in having to correct AI errors.
No, he's been working on building a larger eLearning solution with some interesting workflow analytics around courseware evaluation and grading. He's been involved in some of the newer LRS specifications and some implementation details to bridge training as well as real world exposure scenarios. Working a lot with first responders, incident response training etc.
I've worked with him off and on for years from simulating aircraft diagnostics hardware to incident command simulation and setting up core infrastructure for F100 learning management backends.
