When IMs started, there’s a rumor e-mails will vanish within a year.

Email still declined a lot in terms of usage share compared to messaging apps. A lot of work happens over WhatsApp these days, even in govt offices.
Even a 40-50% Wipeout of saas is pretty big, 100bn USD + market value at risk.

Things are not as simple as they appear to be. While these hacky ways are good for startups, SaaS tools primarily target SMBs and enterprises. Such companies don't care about cost of time, they need trust and that's what SaaS companies offer

As an SMB owner, i can tell you there are many points when you realise you can build something in house with more ROI over time. Often because you see things as a customer pov , you have better insights on what you exactly want. SaaS tools leave many things wanting very often. And customisation of those SaaS tools is expensive, time consuming, and makes you forever dependent on that stack.
Many of these integrations and side quests often turn out to be very rewarding, and become bigger projects and even startups on their own sometimes.
Slack is a good example of this.

@LooseGoose you're asking an engineering heavy community if their jobs are in danger, obviously they'll respond with a lot of reasons why SaaS is here to stay.
However, I'm also building AI agents and it's clear as day that junior content writers, SEO analysts, SDRs, junior engineers, everyone is going to lose their jobs in the next few years.
And it's not just SaaS, software as a whole is going to be disrupted, because computers will finally listen and do what we want them to do, instead of us being dependent on a UI to use "some features".

Makes sense haha, fair point. And yes, completely agree that many entry level jobs will disappear in the next few years.
I was working on a few AI projects myself, i do want to eliminate grunt work from entry level positions. But being a non coder only gets me so far.
I was still able to create rudimentary MVPs and tools in Claude artifacts. It's only going to get easier and better over time.
