reads like chatgpt talking to claude about imaginary things.
While this may be a real human reality, the way it's presented is in the golly-gee-whiz, I'm just a farm-folk engineer.
If you meant this to be convincing, it's not. It looks like copy-paste-find-replace of all these other tech blogs where they found $SHINYNEWEVIDENCE of $MODUS_OPERANDI and you should too.
I don't understand what your comment is about. You don't like his style, you disagree with the evidence, or the conclusion?
The author is Brad Feld [1], who wrote checks to thousands of startups, wrote a dozen books, and advises a bunch of founders. He's talking about his personal experience observing the shift in the typical profile of a startup entrepreneur.
I think his perspective is very valid. For the past 20 years we assumed (and confirmed through empirical evidence) that having a technical co-founder was critical for the success of a startup.
This era is getting to an end, and the next 20 will be radically different in the next 20. You'll probably still need human engineering skills to scale, but getting from 0 to 1 will depend much more on taste than how good you are in <language X>.
Yeah why are all these people considering evidence in the first place? Have they no faith? $ONLINEGURUINFLUENCER said AI can only produce slop so it must be true!
What does Linux kernel Devs know about real software development anyway? [1]

Andecdotes are not evidence; failing to see that within a few paragraphs is golly-gee-whiz why don't you just trust this noname person.
