Skill used to be the moat. Not anymore.
I keep noticing this shift in how people talk about product work: the hard part isn't learning the tools or grinding through execution. Coding agents handle a huge chunk of that now, and the details that used to eat weeks get sorted in an afternoon.
What's left is judgment. Are you building the thing that actually moves the business, or just the thing you know how to build? That question got a lot louder once execution stopped being the bottleneck.
It's the same trap for solo makers. When you can ship almost anything, the risk isn't shipping badly, it's aiming at nothing. That's why I built SoloVault: it watches for early market signals and turns them into concrete ideas worth building, so the effort goes toward the right target.
How do you decide what's worth your time now that building is the easy part?
