SaaS is dead, long live SaaS

Dev.to AI
Generative AI

While vibe-coding does favor build over buy for some products, it won't replace mission-critical tools in the foreseeable future Here’s my take on what gets killed, what survives, and the build-vs-buy rule that actually works: I believe that AI does not kill SaaS. It eliminates the “thin wrapper”: software that offers little than a polished UI for simple automations. Today, any developer can stitch these tools together in an afternoon. Still, SaaS is not disappearing; it is evolving.
