Things are not as simple as they appear to be. While these hacky ways are good for startups, SaaS tools primarily target SMBs and enterprises. Such companies don't care about cost of time, they need trust and that's what SaaS companies offer

As an SMB owner, i can tell you there are many points when you realise you can build something in house with more ROI over time. Often because you see things as a customer pov , you have better insights on what you exactly want. SaaS tools leave many things wanting very often. And customisation of those SaaS tools is expensive, time consuming, and makes you forever dependent on that stack.

Many of these integrations and side quests often turn out to be very rewarding, and become bigger projects and even startups on their own sometimes.

Slack is a good example of this.

@LooseGoose you're asking an engineering heavy community if their jobs are in danger, obviously they'll respond with a lot of reasons why SaaS is here to stay.

However, I'm also building AI agents and it's clear as day that junior content writers, SEO analysts, SDRs, junior engineers, everyone is going to lose their jobs in the next few years.

And it's not just SaaS, software as a whole is going to be disrupted, because computers will finally listen and do what we want them to do, instead of us being dependent on a UI to use "some features".

Makes sense haha, fair point. And yes, completely agree that many entry level jobs will disappear in the next few years.

I was working on a few AI projects myself, i do want to eliminate grunt work from entry level positions. But being a non coder only gets me so far.

I was still able to create rudimentary MVPs and tools in Claude artifacts. It's only going to get easier and better over time.

These agents can’t debug production 😂

There are tools for debugging and testing also being developed. It will also improve over time.

Have u used GitHub copilot ever?

No, not yet. I want to start coding more but don't have enough time. Already working on two businesses and have created basic MVPs in Claude for SaaS tools I'd like to build for internal use.

Wait till they need human support and implementation revision !

Human intervention and moderation will always be part of the equation. But junior and mid level roles that exist now won't exist in 5-10 years.

Ser, I was a beta user of gpt2.5 back in 2020-21. I knew this was all coming, way before chat gpt was out.

It's happened faster than i anticipated. And I can bet next 5 years are going to be extremely disruptive in software industry as a whole.

I think SaaS would upgrade and pivot too.

It could, yes. What do you think that would look like though?
