Some SaaS will definitely die. Irony is that some SaaS wont even need to be replaced to die. Take Microsoft for example... they are vibe coding all of windows and breaking shit every other update now....

Yep, between shipping broken shit and then having just dreadful enterprise support, they're kicking their own ass. We just recently finished the W11 transition and thankfully our environment is very tightly locked down so we don't have many problems at the OS level.

Outside of that, we've almost completely removed Microsoft from our org save for just a few token Office 365 licenses that execs refuse to give up. Google is also doing a great job eating their lunch by offering crazy pricing -- they were one of the companies I was alluding to and Gemini wipes the floor with CoPilot.

Yes. So, you agree with me -- there is no reason to celebrate. Right?

Nobody will care no matter what nonsense they try to spew.

The reality is people care about the characters and stories so as long as that development is top tier quality, nobody gives a shit the origin. Moreover, since the barriers to entry are eliminated, that increased competition along with ease of access and lower marginal cost of technology, compute, and energy should make entertainment cheaper.

Focus on great stories and you win. It's that simple.

the story is important, but there we also have to solve another problem that is not yet addressed, and that is that the big studios always monopolize all the attention and the distributors give more attention to Disney, Universal and Warner productions than the small creators. if the problem of maki...

There has been a lot of talk about how SaaS is going to die because of AI. The reality is some will but some are fighting fire with fire.

First, if you've ever worked in large scale corporate or government IT, you know how entrenched it can get and how difficult it would be to switch. It can take months of enterprise review boards and change control meetings just to get a fucking field added to a form.

Second, some SaaS providers are giving significant discounts in exchange for signing long term contracts. Some are bundling new shiny AI modules into existing licensing agreements and some are even providing hundreds of professional development hours to implement so they can sink their hooks in deeper which then goes back to my first point. They are not going down without a fight.

My point is that the number of Federal employees is totally irrelevant when the US is clearly moving into a technocracy. The problem with big government is that it is: a) expensive b) restricting people’s lives Is the public sector now less expensive and is the country giving people more fr...

They are starting to rehire quite a few of them. The agency I'm involved with has seen several thousand in the last month alone.

The issue with the DOGE cuts is they were not done with any strategy and they lost a LOT of corporate knowledge. There are departments that have literally stopped moving for months because the leftovers had no idea what was going on. So now they're forced to rehire -- at a premium.

Abolish the whole department. We don't need any of it
