Deep, relationship-based customer moats remain something AI coding tools cannot replicate for a competitor.Their words
No agentic coding tool is going to replicate that for your competitor.
The Increasing Risk of Building in Publicthebootstrappedfounder.com
-
Their words
the likelihood of inspiring someone to build a competitor was too high, and the return on sharing was too low to justify the exposure. That threshold has effectively collapsed to zero.

Their words
But here's what I know for certain: product isn't a moat. Software engineering capability isn't a moat. Not anymore.

From one piece AI Liability: The Landmines Under Your SaaS 3 beliefs, in the piece's order there

The durable competitive moat in an AI-driven business is proprietary human-originated data, not the AI itself.Their words
The competitive moat for a business right now is not the use of AI. It's human-originating, high-quality, high-fidelity data that other systems can't replicate - even if they implement the exact same features and are built by the same agentic systems.

From one piece Data Is the Only Moat 3 beliefs, in the piece's order there
-
Their words
Making your software business an API-first business is probably one of the smartest things you can do today.
-
Their words
If you run a software business that is purely transformative - that takes incoming data, does something to it, and turns the data back out - that will be a problem.

Real-world, human-generated data is becoming the only durable moat for software businesses over the next decade.Their words
I believe that data - real-world data, mostly human-generated, validated, and cleaned - is the only reliable moat we have as software founders in the near and mid-term future.

GPT-based AI systems can now reliably automate around 80% of data acquisition and verification work.Their words
The GPT systems have gotten so good that they can do a reliable 80% of the work I used to do when it comes to data acquisition and verification.

Their words
But the quality of these systems isn't just in the code they write. It's also in the code I don't have to write. And maybe more importantly, their actual value is in the code I would never have written, or could never have written, or never would have wanted to write.

In iterative problem-solving, each failure has value because it rules out one way that doesn't work.Their words

Solving your community's problems, not just doing your passion for pay, is the path to a profitable business.Their words
Just doing your thing for money rarely works. My personal take on "follow your passion" is this: find the place where other people have the same passion, then solve their problems.

Every hobby community has profitable auxiliary niches serving needs its members can't fill themselves.Their words
You'll find this in most non-professional activities-there's always something auxiliary but still in high demand because people can't do it themselves.

Frequent conversations with customers continually correct a founder's mistaken assumptions about the market.Their words
Your assumptions will constantly clash with reality, and they will be refined slightly every single time you have a conversation.

Direct communication with customers matters more than small, incremental product tweaks.Their words
That communication with the customer is more important than minimal, gradual improvement.

Over-indexing on small daily improvements causes a business to miss bigger, more impactful opportunities.Their words

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
