It was never an issue to build something. The challenge is to sell your product to cover dev costs at least.

That too, is easier than ever.

It's just work, there's no secrets to it.

I already get multiple cold emails a month selling me some sort of software product or service that I don't need and that wouldn't work for me.

If a bunch of additional people start going and building MVPs, what keeps that from becoming even more of a flood, like what you get if you post a job application on LinkedIn nowdays?

I think sales is likely to get harder, not easier, soon.

And to your earlier post, I think the big question is: can individuals get more done on their own now building new things because of less organizational issues compared to incumbents, or because of less product complexity and scope? Is the organization the problem, or is the complexity of stuff built to try to service a thousand different previous sales deals and customers?

Nope - this is one of the blind spots people have.

Right now GeAI is making it easier for many people to get started on projects they have.

It’s improving starts of new projects.

GenAI is not creating demand for new projects. Or new novels, new movies, new stories.

People are ending up creating, essentially, for themselves.
