but that's the thing. Its not novel. As in, I am inventing something. I see a gap and opportunity and began to execute.

I am worried about AI because it has reduced the entry barriers. Much easier now to write code or atleast build MVP and get traction. and that makes me question whether all this effort is futile if the only things giving me an edge os the early start.

You/we pick AI as a threat because we understand it, but a good sales person is just as much of a threat to your idea.

this is a great insight. never thought of it that way. thanks so much

Ask HN: Is it worth building a non-AI software company?

I am not from Kerala but I have spent the last 25 years there. I have family in Kerala. Kerala got rich because of emigration. Sometime during the 80s, Keralites began migrating to gulf in very large numbers. The foreign remittance is the biggest reason why the state is rich. It can be said the proximity to sea and a history of trade with gulf countries enabled Keralites to migrate. And of course, the will and courage of the early emigrants to migrate to a different country.

If we look beyond the foreign remittance, there are quite a few issues in the state. Unemployment is much higher than national average[1] Kerala youth are struggling with the drugs problem, in high numbers.[2] Very little industrial investment because its a state with communist government and not industry friendly. There are towns where every household has someone abroad. Only the elderly are living in those big houses.
