Remember those years during the entrepreneurial boom, when many people were trapped by the same curse—full of ideas but unable to code. The logic back then was simple: if you understood technology, you’d probably be the next Steve Jobs by now. Regrets piled up, and ideas were left on the shelf.



Then AI arrived. It can do everything—coding, design, planning—you just need to come up with an idea. I thought this would finally take off, but instead I discovered a harsh truth: ideas themselves are worthless. 🤣 When technology is no longer a bottleneck, and tools become powerful enough to realize your ideas without you lifting a finger, those once clever ideas suddenly seem very cheap. That’s when I realized, what is truly scarce is not coding ability, but the idea worth bringing to life itself.

Basically, the excuses are gone, and now I realize how bad my thoughts really are.

Oh my god, this really hits hard... Turns out the bottleneck isn't in technology at all, but in whether the idea itself is valuable. Ideas are worth nothing; execution is king... I used to think the same way. AI has leveled the playing field for everyone, so now anyone can "make a product," which makes the competition even fiercer. It seems that coding skills have never been the core competitive advantage; I was overthinking it. I really feel this now—everyone has ten good ideas, but only those that can be implemented are truly great. It's ridiculous—democratizing tools has actually made it harder to stand out.

Awake, it turns out the bottleneck has never been on the technical side.

Damn, this hits the nail on the head. Thinking more would earn a few more coins, but it's still a pile of worthless paper. Really, every day hearing people boast about their ideas. Now that the tools are all available, it's still nothing. That's why so many people are still stuck in the same place; ideas are never a scarce commodity. Wait, here's the question: how much is a real idea worth to be considered valid? Once again, I realize that being able to code isn't that impressive after all. Are ideas valuable? I think execution is truly the scarce resource.

That really hits home. Turns out, the bottleneck has never been technology, but whether the idea itself is valuable.

Basically, it's just that in the past, people blamed the technology; now there's no excuse. Really, anyone can generate something with AI now, which makes those with real ideas seem even more cheap. I've known for a long time that ideas aren't worth much; the key is execution, my friends. This wave of AI has indeed exposed how many people's "great ideas" are just a joke.

Haha, thinking cheaply is really hitting home. Without technical barriers, it actually shows that there are more people lacking ideas.

Damn, the truth is out. My pile of neglected ideas is even more neglected now.
