this is exactly what happened to music
> barrier to record an album in 2000: a studio, a label, $500k
> barrier to record an album in 2015: a laptop and garageband
> result: more music than ever. most of it niche. some of it massive
software is about 5 years behind that curve
vibe coders with claude code are the new bedroom producers
and the bedroom producers won
do with that what you will

Software will proliferate just as videos, music, writing did. The market structure will shift from a “fat middle” to mega-aggregators and a long tail. It’ll be a slower process due to network effects, but many traditional vendor lock-ins will get eaten by AI.

@p_millerd also if you're the principal (i.e. you), it's so important to figure out which people really are willing to be flexible and get hands-on.

i sense many people want the story of doing their own thing but don't actually want to do the work
I have been chatting with ex-consultants to potentially get involved in my StrategyU business.
Most are happy to do gigs if I land the clients but most don't want to get their hands dirty and write blog articles, do digital marketing, update the website, send emails etc. They have spent too much time working with big organizations where you get other people to do stuff lower in the organization

I know a couple guys that have been 'wanting' to start a business for 20+ years. What's tragic is they are actually outstandingly smart and hard-working individuals. Had they actually started, they would have 100% succeeded.

@ShawnReynaldo @ninaprotocol some amazing stuff in here, thank you. I've been long wondering when another wave of this style would emerge...

I've half-jokingly referred to progressive house as "the good trance" for years now, but the genre has always had some glaring flaws of its own.
Even so, I still love some of this stuff, so I looked at both its history and its recent resurgence in a new column for @ninaprotocol.

Despite its name, progressive house has never been an especially boundary-pushing genre. For this month’s edition of Second Floor, @shawnreynaldo takes a look at an often-misunderstood style. ninaprotocol.com/articles/progr…
