My LinkedIn feed (π¬) is full of them. Consultants, freelance devs, ex-CTOs, all pitching the same story. In six months, non-tech founders who built their apps on Lovable or Bolt will wake up with broken code, and they will pay real money to have someone fix it. Rescue as a service. The next freelance goldrush. Think twice before you run toward that wave. Everybody is watching the set coming in. Nobody is checking whether it's going to turn into a real surfable wave, or just close out and collapse. TLDR: The consensus is everywhere.
