Is Building Fast Still a Competitive Advantage?

Hey makers,

I’ve been thinking about this after seeing how quickly AI is changing the way products are built.

As a data analyst, I’m used to looking at how quickly things change, and right now it feels like the speed of building has gone up a lot. A small team can test an idea and launch it much faster than before.

But if everyone can build faster I’m wondering where the real advantage comes from.

Is it better to move quickly get feedback, and keep improving?

Or is it worth spending more time building something that’s harder for others to copy?

I’m honestly not sure which matters more anymore, so I’d love to hear how other makers are thinking about this.
