Over the last few months I’ve built more prototypes than I built in the previous three years combined. Claude deserves a lot of credit for that. The speed is honestly ridiculous. Features that used to take me an entire weekend now take a few hours. Things that I would’ve postponed because they felt too annoying or too time consuming suddenly feel almost free. What’s surprised me isn’t how much faster development became. It’s how little that speed changed everything else. I used to think I wasn’t shipping because building was difficult. It turns out building was only one of several bottlenecks. After shipping multiple projects, I’ve discovered that finding problems worth solving is still hard. Understanding users is still hard. Distribution is still hard. Getting feedback is still hard. Convincing someone to care enough to change their behavior is still hard. The barrier to creation has collapsed, but the barrier to relevance feels exactly the same. In a weird way, AI coding tools have made entrepreneurship more honest. A lot of excuses disappeared overnight. If I don’t ship something now, it’s usually not because I couldn’t build it. It’s because I wasn’t confident enough that anyone would actually want it. Has anyone else experienced this shift after spending serious time with Claude? submitted by /u/Bladerunner_7_
