Judgment Bottleneck

AI writes code.

No-code builds apps.

Templates solve design.

The creative spark, that "what if" moment, has never been cheaper to test.

But finishing?

That's still expensive.

The last 20% resists automation because it's where human messiness meets human needs. Edge cases aren't algorithmic, they're experiential.

Integration isn't technical, it's cultural.

This creates a fascinating inversion: starting is trivial, shipping is premium.

The tools solved the wrong problem. We needed help with the hard part, where your idea meets reality and reality pushes back.

Instead, we got help with the easy part, where anything seems possible.

Maybe that's the point. Easy beginnings mean more attempts. More attempts mean more learning about finishing requirements over time.

The bottleneck moved, but didn't disappear.

The scarce resource is still human judgment.
