Lately I've been thinking about AI and the rise of one-person companies, especially in China.
For the first time, it feels plausible that having an idea might be enough.
Design, development, testing, deployment, documentation, and even marketing are increasingly tasks that AI can assist with. What used to require a team may soon be achievable by a single person.
Historically, turning an idea into a product involved a lot of friction. Ideas were debated, challenged, refined, and often abandoned. Building software required time, money, and coordination. Those constraints acted as a filter.
Many ideas never made it into production. Often for good reason.
