when you stop to think, your fifteen (...thousand) competitors will all attempt a different version of the thing you're thinking about and one of them will be the about the thing you'll come up with, except it'll be built.

it might be ok since what you were thinking about is probably not a good idea in the first place for various reasons, but once in a while stars align to produce the unicorn, which you want to be if you're thinking about building something.

caveat: maybe you just want to build in a niche, it's fine to think hard in such places. usually.

Fwiw a legion of wishfull app developers is not ”the industry”. It’s fine for individuals to move fast.

Institution scale lack of deep thinking is the main issue.
