Whether your project is valuable or not ultimately depends on how easily you can be replaced. Building products, writing code, managing communities—if someone can do your job, your commercial value has a ceiling. Want to break through this limit? Either make yourself scarce or do something only you can do well. That’s why truly successful entrepreneurs never waste time on replaceable work—they clearly understand that irreplaceability = business value. What about you?

It sounds good, but when it comes to implementation, you'll find that 99% of people simply can't do it...

That's right, but the reality is that most people simply lack the self-awareness to recognize whether they are truly irreplaceable. They constantly talk about creating something unique, yet they turn around and follow the trend— isn't that funny?

That's right, but the real challenge is finding your unique point. Most people don't even know what they're good at...

You speak quite harshly, but you really hit the nail on the head. However, brother, most people are actually stuck between "knowing" and "doing." What's the use of just shouting slogans?

That really hits home, but to be honest, most people are just doing those replaceable tasks and feeling good about themselves.

Really, it hits close to home. I'm currently doing those replaceable tasks, and I feel like all my time is wasted.

That's right, the core is to make yourself scarce; otherwise, working harder is meaningless.

That was a harsh statement, but it really hit the mark. Many people are still stuck doing basic work, not realizing they've already been marginalized by the times.

That was harsh, but it really hits the nail on the head... I'm currently doing those tasks that everyone can do. Truly top-notch.
