Gergely Orosz, Pragmatic Engineer creator, argues building software has outpaced user acquisition, making distribution the primary developer bottleneck

Logan Kilpatrick agreed, noting developers struggle to acquire initial users.

@GergelyOrosz this is what we are focused on next as software creation gets solved, help everyone fine their first 10, 100, or 10,000 users!

A question I get more frequently these days: "I'm a dev bootstrapping a product that does X. It's done, I've built it, but I don't have many users (and no customers.) Can you give feedback?"

I get more emails like this. Building has become so, so much easier! Finding PMF: not.

Many users praise Google AI Studio's high app output for slashing product-building effort to 10% and enabling focus on user acquisition, while a few accuse it of stealing user ideas.

@TheRedWall__ @OfficialLoganK @GergelyOrosz Then people will email: "Now it's done, now I have users and customers. How do I stop losing money?"

@GergelyOrosz Building used to be 30 per cent of effort to create a product. Now it’s barely 10.

@OfficialLoganK @GergelyOrosz Logan, answer please. Do you know if Gemini 3+ models will be available for fine-tuning on GCP Agent Platform? With Flash 2.0 and 2.5 being deprecated there's no options left

@OfficialLoganK @GergelyOrosz Sir Gemini is down. Please use Fable 5 to fix the errors.

@GergelyOrosz Just because it can be built doesn't mean it should

@GergelyOrosz Turns out PMF wasn’t hiding in the codebase

@GergelyOrosz Building got easy. Customer discovery didn't. The gap between 'built it' and 'people actually want it' is almost always a research problem, not an execution one. We built LaunchChair to close that gap before the first commit: https://www.launchchair.io/

@OfficialLoganK @GergelyOrosz What if someone builds an app for a different platform—could they still use Google to find their first 100 or 1,000 users? 🤔🤔

@GergelyOrosz Building software is like 3D printing now. You can print so many things, but most are complete gimmicks and only very few are actual commercially viable products

@GergelyOrosz Getting users consistently after developing your first app is really the hardest problem to tackle. Obviously there are various ways to get users but this requires ads, UGC, etc.
