The target user doesn't read hacker news. The target user is typing up papers for their history class. This absolutely kills the lower end of the market. I do not know why anyone who needs Safari and MS Office would buy anything else.

a lot of debate here but one thing is not a debate: both parties want to portray the other one as a devil, in truth the actually both are going to be OK. We had Trump for 4 years, we basically had Harris for 4 years. We are not China or Venezuela. Everyone relax and figure out how to focus on similarities rather than difference. One Love!

Technology goes in waves, when a large breakthrough in technology then opens up an opportunity for a lot of small applications of that technology. I wrote some thoughts on Web 2.0 / SaaS startup wave: https://mikebz.com/tech-startups-and-railroad-tracks-d1d5948...

The Mobile wave and SaaS wave are gone, it's possible that AI will open up a lot of small applications or AI Bot economy, but we will see.

The low capitalization means that you are mostly writing gluecode and winning on UX, not really doing breakthrough technology innovation that has no revenue for 5-7 years.
