This is the thing. AI doesn't fix operational chaos, it just speeds it up. I've watched founders automate a broken process and end up doing the wrong thing faster, feeling great about it the whole way.
"What happens today" is the question everybody skips. Building was never the hard part. Knowing what deserves to get built, that's the job. Good piece, Juan.
When creation becomes easy, knowing which problems truly deserve time, attention, and resources becomes the real advantage.
Yep, easier said than done for many operators out there.

Thank you Mark. You are right. You can improve operations and still not accomplish your goal.
That's the biggest challenge now, not can we build but should we build.
Buy/lease decisions. Also low barriers to entry. A deeply strategic question.
AI has shifted the bottleneck from execution to judgment.
A working prototype creating false confidence is such an easy trap to fall into.
