问HN：如果你能在24小时内以5000欧元获得一个功能原型，你会买吗？
嗨，HN，我目前正在验证一种服务模型，我们作为“影子工程团队”，以大约5000欧元的固定费用在24小时内交付完全功能的原型。
我们针对的具体问题是工程能力。
我与每位创始人或产品负责人交谈时，他们都有5到10个高潜力的想法，但目前都处于停滞状态。他们无法实现这些想法，因为他们的核心工程团队忙于维护、技术债务或主要路线图。他们实际上“没有时间”去测试任何新东西。当他们尝试使用replit/lovable时，往往会得到很多杂乱的结果，并在几个周期后感到不堪重负。
我现在遇到的困惑是，我很想听听你们的真实看法：
我观察到当前的“AI编码”市场，像Fiverr AI编码服务这样的市场也在兴起。
你可以找到有人愿意以500到1000美元的价格构建AI应用程序。
我真正想问的是：为什么这些廉价服务没有爆发式增长？
考虑到像Cursor、replit这样的工具的能力，你可能会认为这些市场应该是绕过内部工程瓶颈的默认解决方案，但事实并非如此。
- 是管理开销的问题吗？（你没有时间去管理一个随机的自由职业者？）
- 是质量/安全的担忧吗？（将专有想法放入廉价的零工经济服务中？）
- 还是说他们根本不理解商业逻辑？
核心问题是：如果你手头有一堆无法实现的想法，那么以5000欧元的价格在24小时内获得“保证的专业级”结果，是否是绕过内部瓶颈的明智选择？还是你仍然会尝试与更便宜的自由职业者/内部资源拼凑在一起？
我在试图弄清楚价值是在代码（这很便宜）还是在可靠性/速度（这似乎很稀缺）。
感谢你的反馈。

Hi HN, I’m currently validating a service model where we act as a "shadow engineering team" to deliver fully functional prototypes in 24 hours for a flat fee of around €5k.<p>The specific problem we are targeting is Engineering Capacity.<p>Every founder or product lead I talk to has a backlog of 5-10 high-potential ideas that are currently dead in the water. They can't build them because their core engineering team is buried in maintenance, technical debt, or the main roadmap. They literally "don't have the cycles" to test anything new. And when they try with replit/lovable they end with a lot of slop and get swamped after a couple of cycles.<p>Here is where I am stuck, and I’d love your honest take:<p>I look at the current landscape of "AI Coding" and see marketplaces like Fiverr AI Coding Services<p>You can find people offering to build AI apps for $500–$1,000.<p>My genuine question is: Why aren't these cheap services exploding?<p>With the capabilities of tools like Cursor, replit you’d think these marketplaces would be the default solution for bypassing internal engineering bottlenecks, but they aren't.<p>- Is it the management overhead? (You don't have time to manage a random freelancer?)
- Is it a quality/security fear? (Putting proprietary ideas into a cheap gig economy service?)
- Is it simply that they don't understand business logic?<p>The Core Question: If you are sitting on a backlog of ideas you can't build, is a €5k price point for a "guaranteed, professional-grade" outcome in 24h a no-brainer to bypass your internal bottleneck? Or would you still try to hack it together with cheaper freelancers/internal resources?<p>I’m trying to figure out if the value is in the code (which is cheap) or the reliability/speed (which seems rare).<p>Appreciate the feedback.
