Episode notes
Era Of Enormous Builder Power
- Builders today have unprecedented power because tooling and infrastructure remove many tedious barriers.
- That power increases experimentation but also risks lazy thinking and unintended consequences.
Be Selective With New Tools
- Avoid adopting every new tool; be selective about what you internalize as a builder.
- Use new tools strategically and don't raise VC just because you can prototype without it.
Constraints Fuel Creativity
- Tight constraints often spur more creative and practical solutions than limitless choice.
- Narrowing options helps focus effort and produce surprising, higher-quality outcomes.
