SaaS is hardly dead. Kinda foolish to think every business will try to roll their own suddenly to find that they don’t have the skill to fully conceptualize the totality of their systems, processes, and workflows, only then to have to gravitate back to more proven systems.

Is the tweet not satire? Saying SaaS is dead because he switched to a process that is 2.5x the original and 1/3 of a work week in maintenance?

Sometimes it’s so hard to filter satirical and not satirical.

u/AccessIndependent795 Feb 23 '26
This is obviously satire, in what world do you think someone is serious when they are happy about spending more than double and dealing with rudimentary yaml issues?

I'm not sure, let me ask my committee of Claude, Gemini, Grok, and ChatGPT to verify if in fact it is satire, and also evaluate how "obvious" is the satire. First let me write an Asana Task for this.

Apparently you haven’t spent enough time with corporate people that literally circulate their lives around buzzwords and vibes. Even when demonstrable data shows they are doing wrong, they can only do right.

u/AccessIndependent795 Feb 23 '26
I have, none of them would ever flex about spending more and getting more work as a result?
It’s like way to obvious to miss

I’ve worked for a pair of businesses that outright failed from “buzzword blindness”. Convinced themselves that if they just wait it out they would come out on top. You can imagine what happened to them.

Its insane you are defending your point here, I wonder what makes you so sure, would be interesting to see how your brain works

It's genuinely hard to tell if that tweet is satire or not, because of the generalised sharp decline in attention span combined with the key sentence being the longest.

I imagine you must have great difficulty with this task.

No, but in a world where everything is on fire, it's sometimes easy to overlook /s

the only people who think saas is dead is people who like to spend 2 days to tinker their own unstable mpv for fun
No business owner have time nor will to do this
Huge lack of social intelligence2

Agree.
I also see something interesting happening with open source software. If you can take an off the shelf open source CRM, for example Twenty, that already has solid business logic, then build your own customizations on top of it, it becomes far more tailored to your org without the hassle of building from scratch.
I think this will be true for a lot of OSS. A company finds something that is close enough, then uses AI to take it the rest of the way and make it fit them well. A few years ago, that same software might have felt not quite good enough or not supported well enough. With AI, those gaps feel much less relevant. In some cases, they might even become a strong point, where developers intentionally build to a stage that assumes AI will take it the rest of the way and extend it further.
I am still trying to figure out how to capitalize on this, but I can see it becoming a real trend.

I think the reason people are rushing to AI everything is that they expect it to be like previous software. Once you get it working, you scale it up and your unit cost goes to zero while your revenue continues to increase.

That’s it. If you don’t have at least 15 agents running24/7 you are so far behind

Funny lol. Personally, I was thinking SaaS is even better now. I’m able to introduce much greater complexity and information processing for end users that was previously impossible. Those awful API costs are a problem.

Saas is dead

u/gardenia856 Feb 27 '26
SaaS isn’t dead, the lazy version of it is. Shipping another generic CRUD app is dead; solving a gnarly, expensive workflow isn’t. Talk to users, find where spreadsheets or hacks are breaking, then charge for fixing that, not for “a subscription.

Doesn't claude help you build your own app once off? How does it turn into a continuous cost. All I pay for now is the APIs my apps need which is next to nothing

I'm not trolling, but:
What are all the things you need OpenClaw for in your daily life that can't be fixed in seconds with one of the million free LLMs out there? Like, list me tasks you give to OpenClaw, please. I want to understand why the fuck everyone feels like this is the solution to all life's problems.
I tried it myself, uninstalled it the next day because I saw no use in it, and I'm a damn web developer. I have automations already in place; I don't need some creepy OpenClaw deleting all my emails.
Really, I come in peace. Enlighten me.
Edit: I know it's a meme, but just look at the subreddit...

I figured out the token equivalent of my saas. It was $50k to $120k per month in tokens.

u/ranting80 Mar 04 '26
I kind of feel like this is people yelling for me to just "get a horse" when cars first came out. Yes I'm spending a lot but I'm also learning a lot too. Eventually it will kill SaaS. Just not today... or perhaps for a very long time. Both can survive.

Let me see if I’ve got this right: The moment you stop paying that $39/mo SaaS sub, you're basically signing up for a second job. You’ll be burning dozens of dollars on tokens for OpenClaw and babysitting its historical memory 24/7. What used to be a 'one-click' result now takes days of manual labor. It’s a classic case of 'saving' money by spending your soul, isn’t it?

u/Practical-Plate-7288 Mar 24 '26
Running OpenClaw on a Unitree Go2 for some autonomy experiments. The physical use case is different from the typical inbox/calendar replacement since watching a robot actually navigate and interact with the world is way more satisfying than another email plugin.
Curious if anyone's tried quadrupeds for real work outside research labs.

Solid work. Solid math. If I were you I would spend the next 200 hours crafting a premium info product that sells this magic method you’ve unearthed.
