The 8 years part is the real story. A lot of founders we talk to have the same pattern — technically capable, clear idea, but never shipped. The common explanation is "I was waiting until I had more time" but when AI removed the time constraint, the same projects still didn't ship. What actually changed here wasn't just velocity, it was that vibe coding lowered the psychological cost of starting on something uncertain. The spaghetti codebase problem is real but secondary — you can refactor bad code. You can't refactor years of not starting.
