I used to pay $120/year for a SaaS that hasn’t added new features in four years, and didn’t fix its broken billing system for three years. Using an LLM, I managed to rewrite all the functionality I used to pay for in 20 minutes. Is this bad news for “write once, don’t update later” SaaS?
ive been buildin ‘solutions’ like this for 30 years. what the llms have done is reduce my time to maybe a few minutes, and lowers the barrier to entry to the technically ignorant.
lowering that barrier still leaves a non-insignificant portion who want it bundled up and handed to them with a bow on it. plenty of people are happy to pay for a supported product and have no desire to attempt resolving the underlying issue/resource themselves.
