Twitter wasn't built by 1000 engineers at 350k/yr. It had to hire them later on. Because when there are users - you need support, take out fires etc. And this exact thing will happen with any homebrewed SaaS. You either run a busi

In any usable product making a product is like 20% or less. Enter compliance, security, payments and a million other things. Even if you can build it in a day B2B SaaS will continue to prosper because they sell peace of mind, reliability a

You do realize that making software by developer for his wife means for random business is hiring a third party dev to build custom software? So still, for ransom business much cheaper and better to buy software from SaaS vendor. In this ca

All websites had all incentives to be api-first for 2 decades now. They aren't API first not because they can't - but because customers will use whatever GUI website supports to use it. Unless your product has no value - users wil

Yup. thats more expensive because each hour of your time is at least 50USD And each hour on weekend that you would have spent with your family etc is probably 500-1000 usd at least, so yeah, it is much cheaper to pay 15 usd for SaaS

Thats not cheaper than paying a subscription. In fact this is at least 3x-10x more expensive. And this is comparing to being subscribed many years in a row. With SaaS you can unsub and sub only when you need it again. With your side project

This. Calling polymarket bot “bloomberg terminal” is like calling boiling kettle a rocket engine. That bot can be written in a few hours without ai.

Its not like tree at all because tree is one and done. Code is a project that has to be updated, fixed, etc. So when something breaks - you have to ask the contractor again. It may not find an issue, or mess things up when it tries to fix i

Its like ordering a project from upwork- someone did it for you, you have no idea what is going on, kinda works though.

Also open source without support has zero value. And you can support only 1-2 projects. Meaning 99% of everything oss released now is de-facto abandonware.

Yep, it always seems easy from the outside until you start doing it. Then unless you are doing a crud web app you quickly run into issues where unless you know what you are doing- Claude Code won’t help you.

It can be vibe-coded quickly but can also be done rather quickly without ai - the heavy lifting is UI lib from Zed. That is the real unlock in apps like this.

This. I wouldn't be surprised if AI was better than going to GP or many other specialists in majority of cases. And the issue is not with the doctors themselves, but the complexity of human body. Like many digestive issues can cause mi

What most don’t realize is that this will happen to most businesses in all categories as more people rely on ChatGPT and Claude for discovery. No discovery - no business. And same with ads.if OpenAI decides not to add ads - prepare for even

They are sleeping on it because there is absolutely no incentive to use it. When needed it can be picked up in a day. Otherwise they are not paid based in tickets solved etc. If the incentives were properly aligned everyone would already u

Because when a project is done in 10 minutes by llm - it will be abandoned in a week. When a person intentionally does it and spends a month or two - they far more likely will support it as they created this project with some intention in t
