Great post mate! Totally agree with all of that.

Main thing around stack I'm seeing is once you get a stack you're comfortable with (backend, frontend, analytics, etc) you can template that and just rapidly build products spinning up Claude Code agents with guardrails. Check out the Base44 founder interview on Lenny's pod because there's some interesting insights he shared there.

Few other thoughts fwiw from my pov:

1/ nobody has figured out the right way to price/package these things yet (see Cursors latest gaffe) as variable costs make it tough to fit subscriptions into a credit system seems like square peg into round hole and it's all getting so messy around limits, tiers, etc

2/ distribution will change how companies design their products or sitemaps (see Veed or Canva how they rank for thousands of specific queries instead of "video making platform" it's "tiktok music promo video maker") --> this is going to go beyond the idea to have a landing page and I think users will expect mini product experiences right away

3/ unique company building structures are going to emerge as founders & operators now (or very soon) will have bandwith to actually operate 10+ products ... so curious how this impacts venture funding or corp structures but this used to only be reserved for big companies with corpdev teams doing M&A --> could be possible you'll even see mini "collabs" between founders of various startups spend a small portion of energy on building something that brings shared value (like new push notification or CRM)
