Yeah, I feel this more than I expected. You go deep into AI and suddenly your day is full of ideas, experiments, little breakthroughs… but there is barely anyone around you who really gets why it’s exciting. It is a weird mix of growth and isolation. You’re leveling up fast, but the circle that can match that energy shrinks.
SaaS isn’t dead, it’s evolving. Claude can write code but it doesn’t take responsibility when things break. Most people don’t want to babysit prompts, debug flows, or chase edge cases just to avoid a subscription. They pay for something that works, keeps working, and someone to fix it when it doesn’t. AI raises the bar, it doesn’t remove the need. Bad SaaS will disappear, good SaaS becomes even more valuable.
Past sales give validation but what founders are choosing right now gives direction. The early naming patterns and keyword shifts usually show up there first before they translate into aftermarket demand.
Feels like the real edge is in balancing both staying rooted in data while keeping a close eye on what’s actively being built today.
Quantum & Qubit domains right now feel like AI domains in 2015–2017.
Not mainstream.
Not crowded.
Mostly ignored.
Which is exactly why this phase matters 👇
Bottom line:
We’re pre-ChatGPT moment.
→ Quantum today = AI before 2022 breakout
→ Qubit today = deep-tech layer few understand (for now)
You’re early —
just focus on where real use cases will form, not just keywords.
