- satvikpendem 8mo agoSame as all the other companies that built on top of the API and then were obsoleted after the API provider made it a built-in feature. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/claude-just-killed-startup-sf-173105543.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/claude-just-killed-startup-sf...
- sixothree 8mo agoI'm guessing people need to quickly realize Claude is a platform.
- Bnjoroge 8mo agobitter lesson applied to platforms
- 8cvor6j844qw_d6 8mo agoReminds me of a post here (or maybe it was on another forum) about someone who built a tool for their own use but deliberately chose not to develop it into a product, citing insufficient moat. Seems like they read the room correctly.
- lbreakjai 8mo agoThere might still be plenty of room to compete, especially at $15-$25 per review. I'm starting to feel like the right harness makes more difference than the right model. The real competition for both claude and the platforms is a skill running locally against the very same code.
- Bnjoroge 8mo agoagree on it potentially being a big market, just not sure it's big enough for multiple unicorn startups trying to justify their valuation. competing on price, especially when code review is the main bottleneck seems misguided imo
