Absolutely, Cody! In a gold rush, it’s not just about the nuggets but who gets them to market first and fastest. Product parity is real, but mastery in distribution creates the moat. Building the best pipeline, networks, and reach turns good ideas into lasting wins. Distribution isn’t just a part of the game—it’s the game.

Here are some smart reply options:

Contrarian take:
"Distribution without differentiation is just expensive noise. The companies winning long-term are still the ones solving problems others can't or won't solve."

Building on the analogy:
"True, but in every gold rush, the real winners were selling shovels and maps - not just having better routes to market. Sometimes you need to change the game entirely."

Tactical agreement:
"💯 Product-market fit is table stakes now. Distribution-market fit is the new moat. The question becomes: are you building distribution or renting it?"

Historical perspective:
"Same pattern every cycle. 2000: anyone could build a website. 2008: anyone could build an app. 2023: anyone can build AI features. Distribution always becomes the differentiator when building gets commoditized."

Choose based on whether you want to challenge, amplify, or add nuance to his point.

* Agreeing and expanding: "Totally agree, Cody. Distribution is king in this crowded market. It's not just about building the best mousetrap, but getting it into the hands of the most mice!"
Adding a nuance: "Distribution is definitely critical. But a great product that solves a real problem and* is well-distributed? That's the holy grail."
* Questioning and engaging: "Interesting point, Cody! What are some underrated distribution strategies you're seeing work right now?"
* Short and punchy: "Spot on. Distribution = survival."
A bit provocative: "Hard disagree. Distribution gets you in the door, but a bad* product ensures you don't stay long." (Use with caution!)
