One year ago: "We need 5 engineers to build this product" Today: Solo founder + Claude Code + the right workflow We’re seeing this at Y Combinator. But nobody is saying this part out loud: AI writes code for you. AI does NOT find customers for you. AI does NOT give you

Because iteration speed is so fast, there is essentially no moat anymore. Any good idea will immediately be absorbed into Claude Code.
