I used to pay $120/year for a SaaS that hasn’t added new features in four years, and didn’t fix its broken billing system for three years. Using an LLM, I managed to rewrite all the functionality I used to pay for in 20 minutes. Is this bad news for “write once, don’t update later” SaaS?

    No, you didn’t.

    • The service you pay for polls the APIs of these services and dynamically fetches the linkedin shout outs or w/e, then displays them.

    • You had AI scrape your linkedin, convert to JSON, then convert again to static HTML, which you manually do and deploy.

    It’s a fun project and It’s awesome to build stuff yourself, but pretending like these things are the same is disingenuous. The irony here is the service you replaced is trivial to build and have AI build, but it would have taken you a lot longer.

    Uh oh, LLM in the title. Lemmings are about to downvote en masse regardless of anything else
