I don't really see the point of this article. It's not the difficulty of your solution--it's the quality of your solution and whether it resonates with customers. I've seen some very profitable startups solving "LEGO" problems in elegant and interesting ways. Meanwhile, any competitive advantage you think you built solving "NASA" problems with complex technology is fleeting at best.

Isnt that the point of the article? Dont think your idea is the most complex and that no one else will be able to copy you. If you're solving a lego problem stick to the lego but try to solve it the best you can cause people will come and its gonna be easy to copy most of your solution
That was exactly the point I was trying to make. Thanks!
I'm with you on this, and I'm currently working on an actual NASA project.
Agreed. I enjoy solving lego problems, and I think I'd be content solving lego problems for the rest of my life.
Agreed. Also anecdotally Lego makes a profit.
