This is such an usually low signal FUD post for HN. I know I am not adding anything of value here either, but I couldn’t help myself. Please post something with more substance here.

We all notice a shift in the general perception of the SaaS industry. People are afraid, massive change is coming. But that is obvious from all the posts in news outlets, on x, on Reddit etc.

Thus far it’s just a massive hype. The technology has the potential to switch up the business, for sure, but now apart from frontier labs for everyone else it’s just eating money. No company has lost clients due to being replaced by some autonomous agent.

Don’t get me wrong, the technology has the potential, and it will improve, and we will see massive changes. Money will flow to different entities (cloud providers? New players? Who knows). But technology still needs to be shaped into a useful product. Even for coding (undoubtedly the most mature use case for AI agents) the agents still have to demonstrate they actually safe time and money in the long run. So far it looks like they mostly create more work.
