That’s 100% why I haven’t done this - we’ve seen the movie where people build a business around someone else’s product and then the api gets disabled or the prime uses your product as market research and replaces you.




Does that matter as long as you've made a few millions and just move on to do other fun stuff?

Assuming you make those few millions.

There are armies of people at universities, Code4rena and Sherlock who do this full-time. Oh and apparently Anthropic too. Tough game to beat if you have other commitments.

I don't entirely fit in to modern capitalism - my values are a little old fashioned - quality, customer service, value, honesty, integrity, sustainability.
