The idea / creativity is hence the key. Novel ideas don't occur to everyone.
- ska 3y agoNot really. Ideas have always been cheap. They occur to everyone. Most of them aren't great, let alone good. But good ideas, even great ones, rarely mean much on their own. It's always been execution.
- mistermann 3y agoTechnically, you are necessarily speculating....an idea that does not occur to many people during real time cognition.
- jvanderbot 3y agoWell you need both, a great idea and great execution. I agree with your sentiment though that execution (and timing) are the differentiation.
- ska 3y agoA decent idea and great execution is often enough.
- popcorncowboy 3y agoAnd a deep or wide, or preferably both, market. Without this last ingredient, all you have is a hobby project.
- ska 3y agofair, but I was considering that part of "decent" in "decent idea".
- poppypetalmask 3y agoWith AI making execution bit easier, the idea will become relatively less cheap.
- naet 3y agoIf it's trivial to implement someone else can just take your idea and easily spin up a competitor, devaluing your idea.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoThis is the ultimate fate of any interesting or useful idea. What matters - if you're doing it for fame or profit - is the delay between you and your competitors executing on the idea. (The delay may sometimes be negative. I'm reminded of a few cases where someone made a successful Kickstarter, only to discover mid-way through fundraising that factories in China are already busy manufacturing their product for someone else.)
