Does anyone else feel like "Building" has become faster than "Validating"?

With tools like v0, Cursor, and Bolt, I feel like I can spin up a functional MVP in a weekend. The engineering barrier is dropping fast.

But actually validating if anyone wants the product... that still feels like the slow part.

It feels like a weird paradox in 2025:

  • Building the solution: Instant / AI-assisted.

  • Finding the problem (Talking to users): Still manual, slow, and hard.
