I think this is exactly the math that is going to drastically change the small SaaS landscape why would I pay monthly for <tool> when the same cost (maybe less!) can make that and also anything else I need

Curious how confident you feel in this. It feels like the sort of thing that is absolutely going to change my day-to-day, but I also feel that I will be one of the only people in my circles to take advantage of this - everyone else is gonna keep paying for quickbooks.

in the way that we see distributions now probably, like the 1-9-90 rule or similar I suspect there will still be (always be?) a market for making a thing and selling it because people can't be bothered or are unaware of rolling their own I also suspect that the ratio of that ROI will shift around

it's also a market thing - we see this already with non-software industries relying on old crappy software every day someone makes a garbage truck route scheduling program and sells decades because no one else is interested in making a sleeker one maybe vibe coding will _increase_ saas competition

What a weird example. Is no one interested, or is it because traveling salesman is an infamously impossible problem to solve, and so once a working route is set up you hardly ever need the software again?

The b2b garbage route scheduling software is aimed at a middle manager who needs to ensure than 6-200 people working for the company and their trucks are have assigned responsibilities even when several people are out sick, not for solving leetcode problems
