Original Summary

SaaS is dying. And I think that's great news. Not because businesses will stop buying software. Quite the opposite. I think SaaS as we know it is slowly coming to an end, and something much bigger is taking its place. For decades, building software was expensive. You needed engineers, serious funding, and enough potential customers to justify the investment. So we built general-purpose products for large markets. And businesses had to adapt their processes to fit the software. AI is changing that equation. Building software is becoming cheaper, faster, and more accessible. Things that made no economic sense just a few years ago are suddenly becoming possible. In a way, it reminds me of the Renaissance. When the ability to create becomes accessible to more people, the result isn't less creativity. It's an explosion of new ideas. I believe we're about to see something similar in software. Instead of another platform trying to solve 100 problems for 100,000 businesses, we'll see products solving one very specific problem for 100 businesses. Entire industries, unusual workflows, tiny niches that were never worth building software for. I can imagine a future where B2B software is measured in millions of products, not thousands. Will most of them fail? Probably. Will many of them become billion-dollar companies? Of course not. But I think thousands of founders will build incredibly successful businesses in niches that barely exist as software markets today. And perhaps the biggest change is that understanding a customer's problem will become far more valuable than knowing how to build the software. So yes, I think SaaS is dying. But what comes next could be the biggest software Renaissance we've ever seen. Do you agree, or do you think I'm being too optimistic?   submitted by   /u/sergey_danishevskiy [link]   [comments]
