"When I built menugen ~1 year ago, the hardest part by far was not the code itself, it was the plethora of services you have to assemble like IKEA furniture... auth, database, security, DevOps."

→ The next wave of AI tools will abstract this complexity away entirely.

"We dramatically underestimate how much change management it is going to take to automate most knowledge worker tasks. Legacy data, missing context, less technical teams..."

→ The real bottleneck to enterprise AI isn't the model — it's the data and org structure.

"AI didn't kill software. AI just killed dumb software. Everyone building social media cross-posting tools right now — that's dead. What isn't dead: software that requires taste, judgment, domain knowledge."

"Every night OpenClaw builds me out new apps and ships more code without me asking. People keep saying there's no way it's doing it proactively. It does, because I set the expectations it should."

→ Agentic AI works when you set the right expectations upfront.
