@annbordetsky it's like when they kept changing the definition of "craft beer" to accommodate the growth of sam adams

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Starting to REALLY see how reaching potential customers is becoming a massive pain point for software startups - esp w AI!

I get so much more messages about software that founders built rapidly that they think will solve some important problem (usually eg AI+context/trust/security).

But how will anyone know about it?

It was fast to build, but getting the world to know about it / care about it is increasingly hard/expensive/time-consuming.

And the irony is: the "easier" it is to build, the more the only differentiation is marketing/advertising! (Because the easier it is to build, the more teams build something similar in parallel, and racing to win the market becomes key!)

I know I’ve said this a lot, but I cannot emphasize enough that email will continue to become less deterministically reliable as a means for distributing your work; this is a huge part of why we got into the app and feed business! You can blame a few things (1/n):
