Everyone Ends Up With a Sales Team. Even in the AI Era. The Team Just Scales Later Now. See, E.g., Replit, Gamma, Lovable, Anthropic, etc.

Amjad Masad, founder and CEO of Replit, posted the other day: “I thought I hated sales culture. By the end of this year, more than half my company will be salespeople.” He goes on: for most of the last decade he was a typical tech guy. Build a good product, put it on the internet,...
