I'm more bullish on AI than I've ever been. And that's exactly why I'm bearish on most software companies. Not because their customers will leave, but because their next thirty competitors just got a lot easier to build.
I've seen/heard a bunch of different people quip exactly this. This is one of the crispest articulations. Rings ominous to me.
Kerrick Long:
Many people will tell you to ship a minimum viable product. Others say to ship a prototype to get feedback. Not me. I think you should ship a blank page to your production servers on day one.
Notice how much is involved in shipping software that does nothing. This work will come around eventually. The later you do it, the riskier it is.
Not satire. Good food for thought.
