AI BUILDING: FIRST PRINCIPLES STILL WORK. SAAS INSTINCTS DON'T

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

The first principles of building a great company hadn't changed. Solve a real problem, deliver value that compounds, build something that's hard to replicate, and earn customers' trust. What's changed is the operating environment in which those principles must be applied. Founders who build enduring AI companies are the ones who have the discipline to hold on to first principles. These founders are expanding the size of their categories themselves rather than just building companies.
