The MVP definition quietly changed, and most advice hasn't caught up.
Back when shipping an MVP meant months of work, getting something rough into users' hands fast was the win. Now your agent hands you a working app and a landing page by Friday. Great. So does everyone else's.
That's the trap. The effort didn't disappear, it moved. When building is cheap, the scarce thing becomes taste, a real point of view, and a reason someone can't just clone you in a weekend. A landing page that smells like default AI design gets closed before anyone reads a word.
So the week you saved on code should go straight into the parts that still take judgment: who actually hurts here, why you, and what edge you're building around. That's the whole reason I built SoloVault — to help founders find startup ideas with a real signal behind them, not just something buildable.
Where do you spend the time you save now that building is fast?
