Solo dev: Claude could build this feature in an hour, but it sat in my backlog for a month

The maker of RSStoKindle reflects on a feature Claude could ship in an hour — a starter pack of timeless articles (PG, Jason Cohen, DHH) for onboarding — that has sat in his backlog for a month. The bottleneck isn't code but product thinking: reading a hundred articles to pick ten, designing categories, and fitting it into onboarding. His takeaway: product thinking still matters even when agents can build anything.
