I started building a platform with AI agents writing most of the code. Two different models. Eleven project phases. Over 1,500 tests. More than 200 features shipped. Then one morning I opened my own repository and couldn’t trace the execution path through a service I’d supposedly built.

A new engineer joined our team recently. Smart, capable, armed with AI agents that could scaffold an entire service in an afternoon. Within the first week, they opened a pull request with a note: “Why is this service structured like this? I asked Claude and it suggested a cleaner approach.

By “SaaS dinosaurs,” I mean the big, shiny, pricey software products. CRMs like Pipedrive. Project tools like Jira. Platforms like Monday.com. You probably heard this line already: “SaaS is dead.” It is NOT and I will tell you why. AI makes software easier to build. That part is true.
