The code went to zero and it barely helped - a solo founder's honest 2026 P&L

Indie-hacker confession. Everyone says AI coding is the great equalizer. Six months in: it equalized the wrong line item. Shipping features got ~3x faster - my last one went from a weekend to an evening. My MRR did not move 3x. It barely moved. Code was never my bottleneck. It's the stuff an agent can't touch: support at 1am in a timezone I don't live in, getting a stranger to trust a one-person company with a card, being findable when answer engines quote everyone but me. The cheap half of the job got cheaper; the expensive half did not move. When code is free, the moat is everything that is not code - distribution, trust, support, being named. None of it has a "generate" button. Anyone else watching build time collapse while the rest of the P&L just sits there?
