You're right, because owning the stack means better options for making tons of money. Owning the stack is demonstrably not required for good agents, there are several excellent (frankly way better than ol' Claude Code) harnesses

They'll raise at double that or more before the end of the year. The dynamics of the VC market right now are staggering to watch, but the money velocity is real, and this has "ex-CEO of Github" plus "AI". It's

You'd hear this all the time back when. "Oh you could build Twitter in a weekend". Yes. Also, very no. This mentality is now on agent steroids. But the lesson is the same.

This is the "Wait Calculation" and it's fiendish because there exists only some small, finite window in which it is indeed better to start before the tech is "better" in order to "win" (i.e. get "ther
