Coming from one of the most-watched solo AI builders, it's a sharp read on where the edge is migrating once vibe-coded apps are cheap to produce. The signal for software builders: differentiation is shifting from 'can you build it' to distribution, taste, and harder-to-clone surfaces — the code itself is no longer the moat.
