I think a lot of AI bros are sleeping on quality. Prior startup wisdom was “move fast and break things”. Speed is ubiquitous now. Relatively anyone can vibe code a buggy solution that works for their happy path. If that’s the bar, why would I pay for your jank solution when I can make my own tailored to my exact needs? Going fast is a race to the bottom in the long run.

What’s worth paying for is something that is trustworthy.

Claude code is a perfect example: They blocked tools like opencode because they know quality is the only moat, and they don’t currently have it.
