The gap between writing application code and maintaining its scaffolding has widened as ecosystems have grown more complex, particularly in JavaScript/TypeScript stacks.
Startup Website Builders Solve Code But Not Messaging and Positioning
No-code website builders have eliminated technical barriers to launching startup websites, but founders still struggle because the real friction is strategic: who to target, what message to lead with, and how to frame value from a customer perspective rather than a builder perspective.
