In one of the YC podcasts Michael says "did you Google the thing you are building". I was reminded of that. I think what happens is people hit this "here's what you need to do to start a company" and like 40% of all founders see opportunity in those basics and build an email, CRM, survey, project management, etc. tool because it feels bad to pay high prices for something you could build themselves. The engineering equivalent of this is an issue tracker, JS framework or "we simplified kubernetes".
