It's exciting because the web and software is just completely changing again.

I feel like we had that with Web2, right?

That was the birth of software on the internet, hosted software on the internet.

And it's such an embedded thing in our culture, in our business.

As developers, a lot of us work on that kind of software.

Most businesses run on SaaS software now.

And I have to remind myself, there was a time before SaaS.

And therefore, there can be a time after SaaS, and there can be a thing that comes after SaaS.

And it's not a given that SaaS sticks around.

Like any technology, we tend to kind of go in layers, right?

We still have a bunch of copper phone lines around the place, and we use them for other things, and we're slowly replacing them.

These changes in the aggregate...

take a lot of time.

But I guess, you know, the thing that can shift more quickly is the direction things are going.

And really in the last few months, I think I've been more and more convinced by my own experiences and things I've seen playing with stuff that it's entirely possible and probably pretty likely that there is a post-SaaS

And I don't know if everyone realizes, or everyone is with that intention, but all of us playing with agents and LLMs, whether it's to build the software or to do things, we are doing that.

We're probably doing that instead of building a SaaS, or we're using it to build a SaaS, right?

It's already playing out amongst the developers.

All SAS is dead.

I think I should probably go through my journey to here to illustrate it.
