copying product features is similarly hard to coming up with new features

it requires understanding if and why something works, which is super time consuming

copying is only easy when something reaches a billion arr

this is why startups have a shot. no one will copy your new features until it's already proven, because it's extremely hard. and if it's already proven you already built a 10B business

the big companies can have the best product people in the world and it's still hard
