I really enjoyed this read and it does a good job of explaining the writing on the wall that a lot of software engineers have been seeing in recent months... couple good laughs in there too. RIP SaaS :D

Salesforce Enterprise: $150-300 per user/month
AI-Generated Custom CRM: $50-100 total/month
Not per user. Total.
Enterprise software has always been a compromise. You buy Salesforce not because it perfectly fits your business, but because building something custom was prohibitively expensive. You adapt your processes to the tool. The median enterprise runs 130+ SaaS applications, each solving a slice of their needs, none solving them well.
Now imagine the inverse: software that adapts perfectly to your business. Not configured—generated. The platonic ideal of software, instantiated.
