Experiencing this firsthand right now. Eight years ago, I paid a team ~$20K to build a prototype — architecture, schema, the works. Months of coordination, specs, and revisions.

The builders who adapt to these tools are going to compound advantage very, very quickly.

I think it will be fascinating to see how Amazon LEO prices their services and also how the Chinese mega constellations price LEO BB in the developing world.

I think buyers of the SpaceX IPO are facing far more pricing / margin risk then they are expecting.

The stablecoin fight is a proxy battle over who gets to be the next deposit‑taker in the U.S. financial system.
