Custom Software Product Development: Build vs Buy in 2026
The build vs buy decision in 2026 is different from five years ago. AI has collapsed the cost of building custom software by 30–40%, while SaaS subscription costs have risen.

SaaS companies with 2-5 engineers ship slowly for one structural reason: every engineer splits time between features, bugs, infrastructure, and on-call. Context-switching between these four responsibilities destroys more velocity than headcount can fix.

How Long Does It Take to Build a SaaS MVP? (Honest Timeline for 2026)
A SaaS MVP takes 12–16 weeks from signed specification to production deployment with a senior offshore engineering team. That timeline assumes a well-scoped product — not a vague idea — and a dedicated team, not shared resources.

What Vibe Coding Means for Enterprise Software Strategy in 2026
Vibe coding tools (Loveable, Bolt.new, Cursor, v0) have lowered the barrier to software validation — domain experts can prototype ideas without developers. They have not lowered the barrier to production-grade software. The gap between a working prototype and a production system still requires senior engineering.
