The math behind build vs. buy is rapidly changing with the latest wave of AI tools. We used to build if it was a strategic asset, or buy if it wasn’t doing anything special. AI adds a new consideration: is it worth compromising with a generic off-the-shelf solution if your teams can use AI to rapidly and cost-effectively build something that fits your business and processes like a glove? This also ties into the “Is AI killing SaaS?” debate. Utility SaaS businesses will likely be around for a while. Enterprise SaaS players will need to rethink their models and justify their pricing. There will be fallout.

Knowledge sets boundaries with measurable limits, while imagination builds bridges extending beyond what we know. Curious thinkers tend to explore further than those who simply collect facts.

Someday, we'll realize our biggest roadblocks were just insecurities and fears lodged in our minds. It's remarkable how our potential expands the moment we redraw those boundaries.

@arnel_grows Honestly? If you want a quick prototype to validate your idea, I would go for something like replit.com.

@benln Remember when everyone was obsessed with headcount? Now, the brightest founders are going small and formidable—fewer seats at the table, but better conversations all around.

Small teams are the future:

I find Kanban particularly effective in limiting concurrent projects, or Work In Progress (WIP) items. More on Kanban? This is a great guide from the friends at Todoist: todoist.com/productivity-m…

A gentle reminder: Be mindful of and actively reduce context switching.

Hint: It relates to compression. Nathaniel on "why lowercase letters save data" : endtimes.dev/why-lowercase-…

When browsing the web, if both uppercase and lowercase characters use the same space (1 byte), why does converting everything to lowercase save space?
