@pmitu bet on the right problem. conviction about the future. being accountable to a vision when the data is ambiguous. AI optimizes. founders navigate uncertainty.
@asaio87 counterpoint: using it wrong is not the same as it not working. AI collapses the prototype-to-feedback loop. that's the speed gain. not that it writes perfect code.
@naval execution floor dropped to zero. so now the only variable is clarity of thought. the vibe coders who ship aren't better at AI. they just know what they want to build.
this is already happening. the interface layer is collapsing into AI. whoever owns the persona on top wins.this is already happening. the interface layer is collapsing into AI. whoever owns the persona on top wins.can you call yourself a founder if you wrote every line but shipped nothing users wanted? output is the score, not the method.
@Govindtwtt AI makes the first 80% easier. the last 20% that actually matters -- edge cases, reliability, user trust -- is still brutal. nobody talks about that 20%.
@psomkar1 yes. foundations don't expire. AI makes you faster, not smarter. the devs who understand the why will always outship the ones copy-pasting claude output.
@pmitu founders who forget this start optimizing for optics instead of output. headcount, press, runway theater. revenue is the only number that can't be faked.
