Hahaha, I do get the sentiment and have been asking internally for us to talk about it more. It's not AI, it's bad timing with technical debt, really. I'm hoping to get out a proper write-up from the team soon to show all the work going on behind the scenes!

I was showing devs how to run coding agents on my work livestream yesterday and asked the chat, "what do you do while your agents are running?" while I wanted for mine to run, and grand majority of the responses were just "this" lol

tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety.
venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars.

child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me.
mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed.
mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

Truly an unsolvable problem

HAHAHA no no I'm impressed you're 4/4, no hard feelings!!

WOW

I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but damn you're in for a treat.

Is SaaS actually dead? (...no) YouTube video by Cassidy Williams

@cassidoo.co is right. Maintenance is an unloved part of software engineering. People underestimate just how much is taken care of behind the scenes when using SaaS products.

Coding is fun. Being a sys admin less so. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5Vz...

Very good question, we were muted from each other so it was mostly the last one there, it was VERY fun and the clock was TICKING

I screamed the entire time, it was incredibly fun and you should watch

Is SaaS actually dead? (...no) A lot of folks say that "SaaS is dead" because it's the "personal software era" with AI tools making building more accessible than ever. But, you have to consider maintenance costs, for whom you're…

Thought I'd chat about the whole "SaaS is DEAD" convo now that AI tools can help you build a whole lot of stuff.

Do not give up your brain It's tempting to just let tools think for you, but you still need to be able to think for yourself and stay sharp.

I only just read this and agree with you on a lot, and wrote something similar!
