Comment on Ideas are cheap, execution is cheaper

Comments

It's interesting that the the author created three saas over the weekend as some sort of proof that execution is useless now. But would any company ever buy one of these? No, because for a company to buy your saas you need salespeople or some marketing channel, compliance and regulatory checkmarks, SSO integrations, ability to take and implement special feature requests, SLAs, maintenance and support capacity, etc.

That's the execution part of creating a successful business and it's still entirely missing.

You don't need any of that per se, only if you want to sell enterprise or need to make investors happy, you do. But at $99/mo, people can put that on company card easily. Author only needs 10s of customers to make it worth their time and Claude subscription

To put that into perspective, it's more than what Intellij Idea Ultimate costs to enterprises per seat.
