The MVP made sense when code was expensive — we need a Minimum Idea State now
Too many teams waste time getting to an MVP that they can put out in the market, and we don't have time anymore for that.
The MVP made sense when code was expensive. It's cheap as f*** now.
We need a failure machine at the top of the funnel. We need to get to a minimum idea state (MIS) that gets vibe coded rapidly.
Michelangelo didn't build David. He removed everything that wasn't David.
Then as a founder what the hell do you do? Architecture, deployment, scoping, planning, SOPs, hiring, culture and most important of all CLARITY — of vision, product, and who you're building for. Your job is making sure the path from MIS → product is as frictionless as possible.
And no — "vibe coding produces bad code" isn't a law of nature. It's a skill issue. Bad prompts, bad architecture, loose scope. The model isn't the weak link, not anymore.
Skeptical? "As of May 2026, more than 80% of the code we merge into Anthropic's codebase was authored by Claude." (one of many more such examples)
