The ability to ask the right question is more important than ever now.

With AI generating slop and enabling you to build almost anything, having clarity on what to build, why to build it, who it is for, and what problem it actually solves is more important than ever.

We are going to see a flurry of things people build that no one asked for.

Critical thinking is the only real edge left - the real moat.
