36 years in, solo founder now, and this matches what I'm living. The code stopped being the bottleneck a while ago — Codex and Claude ship features faster than I can decide which features are worth shipping. The Jevons Paradox point lands hard: I have to actively resist building things just because I now can in an afternoon. Solo doesn't escape the coherence problem either, it just turns it into a fight with my past self about what this product actually is.

As someone who's been an engineer for 36 years and is now solo, you have a genuinely interesting perspective on performative productivity vs. actual output.
