AI makes it easier than ever to build products… but the last 10% is still the hardest.

Hello! I wanted to share something I've been noticing lately about AI and software development in general:

With today’s tools: AI code generation, fast front-ends, and easy integrations. It’s easier than ever to get an MVP off the ground.

But the last 10% is still the hardest: making it secure, scalable, and truly production-ready. That’s usually where projects stall.

My recommendation for founders:

– Use AI tools (like Replit, Cursor, etc.) to bring your idea to life as much as possible without hiring anyone.

– Build out the flow, features, and prototype until it works “well enough.”

– Once you have something tangible, bring in a specialist to harden it: implement properly, make it scalable, secure, and launch-ready.

This way, you save money and time: founders get clarity on their idea faster, and engineers can focus on the high-leverage parts instead of building from scratch.

AI can get you 70–80% of the way. But the final stretch still requires expertise.
