- #tech skepticism
- A non-engineer founder built a platform with AI tools in 4 months, gaining 400 users and 50 paying customers.
- Seasoned engineers dismiss the AI-built platform as impossible or low-quality, but high-quality, production-grade software can be made with AI.
- Investors may hesitate to fund AI-developed platforms, but success depends on finding AI-first engineers to scale, not initial code quality.
- Historical tech skepticism parallels current AI doubts, like past dismissal of the internet, web software, cloud, and mobile as toys or insecure.
- The founder should publicly share her work, hire AI-first engineers, and ignore naysayers, as building real, functional products matters most.
