Speed to launch is dead: AI made MVPs cheap and the bar far higher
AI agents can now ship an MVP in a week, so shipping fast no longer confers an edge — it's just the table stakes. Lower entry barriers mean more products, faster iteration, and shorter lifespans, while features themselves have commoditized. The map is wrong. Getting to market quickly is no longer the win; the win is building something AI cannot absorb, which is harder than ever.
