Spotify or Shopify?
I think I’ll start a company called Shpoptify.
This is why I’m sceptical of “AI will kill corporate jobs”. A big company has no profit sharing for successful departments. Everyone is trying to get budget to hire because it makes them feel important.
I look back over 15 years and with the exception of increased smart phone usage, everything else still looks mostly familiar. Maybe a bit more slick, but also slower and buggier despite having much better hardware.
There hasn't been a qualitative leap in software (as was in the 90s). Just larger SaaS companies. Without ZIRP would it have been any different?
When a company can run for years, hell, decade+ on the red thanks to investments, that means every competitor now have to compete with company that sells their goods or services below production value. It just kills competition and innovation, which only becomes possible if other company also attracts investors
Spotify had a good app when it came out, p2p and UDP custom networking...
- stay out of it for your sanity
- sell your soul, organically adapt by looking at those who make it to the top fast
I just brought up Spotify since I have more experience using their app and they have also gone fully into “agents have made us 100X more productive”
Perhaps you are the AI slop?
