Been thinking about this a lot lately. A friend built a working clone in 2 hours with AI - real-time rooms, scoring, everything. Made me question: Does shipping a working product mean more than a degree now? For indie roles? Product wins every time. For corporate? You probably still need both. But the gap is closing fast. Distribution is the new hard part. Anyone can build now. Getting eyes on it? That's the real skill. What do you think - would you hire someone with a portfolio of shipped products over a clean resume? Or are credentials still king?
