Read the cheap-software shift as more buyers

When a technology lets far more people attempt to build something, they hit the limits and come looking for help, which expands your market rather than removing it. The same shift makes attention harder to win, because buyers cannot tell quality from generated filler and are saturated with both.

Where this splits

The same builder reads the flood of cheaply built software as an expansion of his market and, elsewhere, as the end of the slow-and-steady path, with money going to short term trend riding and virality instead.

The flood buries good work and rewards trend riding

  1. 01Getting anyone to care about even a good app is now the hard part, because buyers cannot distinguish quality from generated filler and are saturated with it.
  2. 02The slow-and-steady growth path he used to recommend now looks obsolete, with the money going to short-term trend-riding and virality instead.

The shift brings more builders who become your buyers

A technology shift that expands who can attempt to build something expands your market rather than eliminating it, since new entrants hit the limits and come looking for support.

What it returned

  • Zue's bull case is that AI brings far more people into building software, that they will build a first version with AI and then need more support, and that some will find their way to boilerplates.
