The majority of saas business is like this: Numerous engineers trying to invent new unnecessary features or sitting idle through irrelevant projects and meetings or doing continuous refactoring and ‘let’s use the new x tool/process/language/whatever’ every x months, numerous managers ‘managing’ them and managing these managers and fighting about headcount and other irrelevant metrics and so on, numerous product managers having no clue and just copy-pasting features from different saas, ux designers iterating on the designs every year and so on, founders keep founding the same saas with another tens of competitors building the same thing snd so on.
We are really privileged to be in such an industry, gaining so much money (depending on location) compared to other professions and doing so meaningless job. IMO the majority of saas business would operate decently with at least half of their staff or they shouldn’t exist at all. Most of them just facilitate invented features for other saas anyway.
