Thinking first just isn't cost-effective anymore.

So many companies and products were built on a pivot. Why try to imagine the exact problem, user, success, etc. when you can build in seconds (or more reasonably days) and then find the right users' problems to rebuild around from actual users?

It might feel like kicking the can down the road. But it's a much more informed decision when users churn or they don't. And you can reach that decision point just about as quickly as a long thinking/planning phase.

Thinking while building is bad when paying multiple high-dollar humans for months per rebuild. It's arguably better when a full redesign costs you $10.57.

Do you know where one can find those search/alternate-UI tools? I tried to search for them but mostly came back with posts about general web search without AI.

Closest I could find was haxor-news which looks to be a decade old, and would need you to build your own AI filters if the post collection interface still works.

Outputs in terminal, JSON, Markdown, HTML, and SARIF to be read by...
