2026 orthodoxy is something like, > valuable software is now free or cheap to build so you should be mostly effort solving for distribution because thats how you win and i think it's very foolish.

i don't even think this is a straw man. i think this is what the modal X (yea okay okay) software entrepreneur believes. in part they believe that because like 90% of them just want to be influencers. the other 10% is just confused

distribution is necessary but not sufficient. or at least, its only sufficient in cases you will almost certainly not find yourselves in — celebrity games.

but more importantly, coding agents themselves generate what you tell them to generate. its not exactly Borges library in that its not uniformly random. but the modal output is still a bad idea from an engineering standpoint and from an actual useful standpoint
