In the Age of AI Slop, Taste Is the Moat.
When everyone can ship software, technical execution becomes table stakes. The durable edge shifts to taste and distribution.
In the AI era, the two profiles with the biggest upside are Designer + PM and GTM + PM. Both combine product judgment with either craft or distribution.
As building gets easier, code is no longer the strongest moat. More people can make products, so the competitive edge shifts toward sharp taste and clear go-to-market instincts.
The winner is not just the team that can build; it is the team that knows what to build, how to position it, and how to sell it.
