taste > skills
taste seems more scarce these days, and increasingly differentiating in the age of AI where so much of skills-based productivity is offloaded to compute.

makes me think about the development of taste, and how we nurture taste for the next gen of humans.

Agree 1000%.

So many excellent devs out there release things that look like straight up BUTT and the UX is trash. DX tends to be phenomenal.

This is why most VCs like YC don't back solo founders (unless they're a friend of a friend or something).
