I really enjoyed this read and it does a good job of explaining the writing on the wall that a lot of software engineers have been seeing in recent months... couple good laughs in there too. RIP SaaS :D https://nraford7.github.io/road-runner-economy/ "Why pay for SaaS ever again? Be a DIY degen who inferences claude for software." ACME Price Comparison Calculator™ Salesforce Enterprise: $150-300 per user/month AI-Generated Custom CRM: $50-100 total/month Not per user. Total. Enterprise software has always been a compromise. You buy Salesforce not because it perfectly fits your business, but because building something custom was prohibitively expensive. You adapt your processes to the tool. The median enterprise runs 130+ SaaS applications, each solving a slice of their needs, none solving them well. Now imagine the inverse: software that adapts perfectly to your business. Not configured—generated. The platonic ideal of software, instantiated.

CC is smart, but it often gets stuck. When you see that happen - ie it says it can’t do something, or its solutions keep failing - TELL IT TO SEARCH THE WEB FOR BEST PRACTICES. If you’re having the problem, someone else has. Have CC go find them and bring that back to your process. That works for me 19/20 on the first try.
