The thing I'm learning about business nowadays: to survive, you need to constantly reorient. You used to build a business, hit product-market fit, and then kind of coast. Now you hit PMF and the ground shifts 3 months later. New AI models, new algorithms, new tools that change what's possible. So you reorient, and reorient again, it's pretty constant. I'm noticing even companies doing $100M to $1B in revenue are sweating these days. They feel it too. But the cool part is if you reorient right, you get rewarded massively. That's kinda the trade. The stability is gone, but so is the ceiling. I've been reorienting my own companies more this year than in the last five combined. And weirdly, it's the most alive I've felt building. It's a good time to be a founder if you can move on a dime. For the experimenters out there, the people who actually like the constant change... I think this has gotta be the greatest time to be building there's ever been.
