AI Coding Agentstailwind
AI coding agents compress build time, making speed of decision-making the only durable moat
AI tools like Claude Code are collapsing the build phase to near-zero, shifting competitive advantage entirely to how fast companies can decide what to build; incumbents that wait to respond to market changes will die.

Payments & Banking Infrastructuretailwind
Regulatory hurdles in payments create deep, durable moats that compound over time

AI Economics & Business Modelsrisk
AI makes building trivial but company-building still requires 10-year founder obsession
While AI dramatically lowers the cost and time to write code and deploy software, the fundamental grind of finding a problem worth dedicating a decade to remains unchanged; founders risk chasing shallow opportunities because building is now easy.
