Honestly, I'm not worried about talented young developers outpacing my tech company—that's just normal competition.

What actually keeps me up is AI coding reaching a point where building speed becomes genuinely unsustainable. When you can ship features faster than ever, the industry pressure flips. Suddenly, not shipping becomes the liability. You can't afford downtime. A day off feels reckless.

The real trap? The ability to roll out new features at machine speed creates this paradox. You're forced to iterate constantly—five features shipping every cycle, then six, then seven. The speed itself becomes both advantage and curse. You either keep accelerating or you fall behind. There's no middle ground anymore.

That's the future I'm actually thinking about: not competition from other people, but from a pace of change that makes rest feel dangerous.
