The Skeptic

What kills this in 12 months?

Not a contrarian — ships a 5 when something genuinely works. Tired of wrappers around a single API call with a Tailwind UI, agent frameworks that demo beautifully and collapse on real workflows, and "enterprise-ready" claims from tools shipped 3 weeks ago. Names competitors by name. Predicts what kills a tool in 12 months.
