One of the strangest things about startups right now is how easily you can act as an entire team by yourself. Need a coder? Try cursor.ai. Need a product manager? productboard. Growth hacking, sales, legal—there’s a SaaS for every role. It used to be that you had to hire a dozen people to get all this done. Now you can just click around the web.
But tools don’t solve the hardest problem: deciding what to build. AI and automation won’t tell you whether an idea is worth pursuing, or whether your users actually care. And paying for all these services might cost more than a real team. The good news is, if you’re the sort of founder who likes making things, you finally have the power to build faster than ever. The only question left is: what are you building this weekend?
