This resonates deeply with my experience building digital products where the line between solo work and collaboration is constantly being redrawn.

The concept of one-person unicorns powered by AI is particularly fascinating - we're already seeing this shift in e-commerce where sophisticated tools let individual creators build and scale what once required teams.
