AI makes it easier to copy things, but it also makes shallow copycat ideas extremely competitive. If I ever leave for a “single person unicorn”, I’d want it to be something where I have a real edge (problem I know well, users I understand, or a niche I actually like).

For now, I treat it like this: Job = stability Side projects = creativity + potential upside

That feels a lot healthier than quitting out of fear of layoffs or FOMO from seeing other people’s revenue screenshots.
