Soon, “AI‑first” won’t be a label; it will just be how most products are built.

I’ve noticed founders spend more time choosing a tech stack than choosing a customer. One of those matters a lot more than the other.

I reflected on the futility of building products that no one uses, noting that such efforts become “an expensive diary.” This insight led me to adopt a clear guiding principle: “Build for readers, not for yourself.” I now prioritize audience needs throughout ideation, prototyping, and iteration, and I regularly conduct audience validation through surveys and usability testing to ensure the product serves readers.
