You just discovered the SaaSpocalypse that began around January this year.

Is there an actual SaaSpocalypse, or just people saying it is going to happen? Because I haven’t seen it with my eyes, and it’s not like business owners are flooding to HN to complain how AI has killed their business.
I'm not sure "SaaSpocalypse" is anything more than hyperbole, but there is a grain of truth behind the thought - What I'm seeing is not companies saying "We should re-write this product we use" as much as it is resellers saying "We can be more than middle-men if we create our own."
What's going away is really shitty business models out of spite. I'd rather not build it myself, I'd rather just pay someone else to do it, but if the vendor is being a bunch of shitheads, I'll roll up my sleeves and replace them.
