Code being the easy part was predicated on how long it took to build a product, and the impact that had on product management, sales, and marketing.
When the time to build collapses, all product/sales/design/martketing mistakes are forgiven. You can pivot so fast, that mistakes in other domains dont matter as much and are reversible
All of the axioms we previously held true need to be rethought
Which should be perfect work for Ai.
Users will churn quick if you aren't reliable or useful and a security incident can be company-ending for a startup.
I must be living in topsy turvey land because this is literally the opposite of what is true. When the time to build collapses, those things become the criticality of the entire product. From a customer perspective, those were always the things that mattered, the customer story. No customer cares how a thing was coded, they’ve ALWAYS cared about all those other things.
if time to build takes 2 months, just build it and iterate.
or just rebuild the product to the customers liking...
