    TLDR

    Suhail Doshi posted advice for founders on X. He suggested copying ideas one is passionate about to gain customers and operate leanly at first. This approach buys time to evolve the idea into something unique amid changing technology. Doshi, known for co-founding Mixpanel and starting Playground AI, framed imitation as a practical launch strategy rather than an endpoint. The post stands alone in the evidence without replies or external validation mentioned. His recommendation emphasizes enjoyment in building as the key to persistence until adaptation becomes possible.

    @SuhailI would encourage more founders to copy the ideas out there that you’re passionate about. Not because that is your end game, but to the degree it is something you enjoy building, you can get some customers and cockroach. That will give you time to adapt and figure out what unique thing it can evolve to as technology progresses. In the age of AI, people can build very quickly. So, in many situations, it’s best to be in market with a team, funding, and some customers to take advantage of new capabilities in the models as they come out. It’s much harder to do what we used to do: quietly build a thing for 3-6 months and launch it. By the time you get the company started, you’ll have moved too slowly. You should assume you will look no different than everyone adjacent to you in the first 3-4 months. However it may only be like that for 3-4 months.
