The Downfall of SAAS and the Ai Fire in which it Burns

Engineer’s Enigma #4

What happens when you have AI Agent that can spin up a template of software that mimics any software you currently pay for?

If you look at this from a perspective of 30 years ago, to get online you needed access to a phone line (you couldn’t call out while you were using the internet,) and you needed a service to connect you that charged you by the minute.

Look what’s happened in those 30 years. There are multiple providers, multiple devices, and multiple connections to the Internet that compete with each other. You can even now even use Starlink Internet for 75 bucks a month in the absolute middle of nowhere and get high speeds. If that’s not incredible to you, somethings wrong.

The SAAS (Software as a Service) market size was around 273 billion dollars in 2023. Where will all that money go when you literally can spin up an AI agent to make software for you that normally you had to pay $100 a month for. Do they start charging us for Software Hosting instead?

What happens to all the developers who’ve made their living making software and taking months to do it?

Seemingly overnight, we are given powerful tools that replace our expensive tools, which are expensive because they took 15 devs 6 weeks to code a basic software product. Now Instantly, they are replaced.

I predict we’ll see a great transformation in what it means to use software. Heck, we’ve seen it already with the move to mostly cloud based infrastructure.

It’s a lot easier for a company to manage a software product efficiently when they manage it for all their customers. Things aren’t segmented, and allows for you to diagnose problems for everyone, keeping your customers happy and your support bill low.

But what will happen when a person uses and AI agent to make software and it doesn’t work the way it was intended? Will they charge to make corrections to the template? Will the AI Agent fix itself? Time will tell, but if the Cloud is any indication, Businesses will find a way to solve the problem and charge for it’s solution
