I think we should bring back moats IRL. Would make it much easier to deter the political campaigners ;)

Yeah I know, it's crazy right?

The only ones with the moat are Care Bears

Similar to what happened with furniture when Ikea began competing with hand made, and hand made furniture's (perceived) value went up. It's more of a social change than the actual value changing. Though this also means that there's less of the makers.

Anyways nothing cures me of my feelings of inadequacy faster than hearing people's stories about coworkers. Sure, I may not be nearly as good as most of the software engineers I hang out with but there sure are a lot of Real Actual Employed SWEs who I am reasonably confident I can outperform.

was thinking this recently too. one of the strangest things ive seen recently is that new "here's a computer thats just a GPU with no display ports" that is priced at a price point that makes zero sense

this is why i'll stay bootstrapped

The moat is gone, but somehow every castle still wants $19.99 a month to open the gate.

also code is free but none of my code does what I want

Jevons paradox is here, it’s the death of SaaS because every business is gonna have like 10 devs as full time staff

this shows that not a lot of people truly care about software

Volition still a powerful differentiator ...

sounds like you have jevons backlog

provided your problem is common enough (or a generalized solution solves enough people's problems) to have a worthwhile addressable market !

OOI, what would you want software to do? :)
