Founder Note

(DAY 1341) Software Has Become Cheap, Distribution Has Not

Quick Context

In one line

AI is lowering the effort needed to build software, while finding customers and earning their trust remain difficult.

Founder Note Topic: Entrepreneurship

Read This As A Thread

This post is part of the founder writing around Edzy, product decisions, hiring, incentives, and the slower realities of building a company.

It is getting easier to turn an idea into working software. That changes the economics of building, but it does not solve the harder question of how the right people will discover the product. A useful tool can still remain invisible.

Distribution takes time, credibility, and access to customers. Even after someone finds a product, they need a reason to trust it, adopt it, and keep using it. Lower development costs may mean more products competing for the same attention. The ability to build matters, but it is not the same as building a durable business.

I am interested in technology less as spectacle and more as leverage. This hub collects writing on software, AI, product behavior, interfaces, and the design choices that quietly shape how people work and think.
