@levie even with only GUIs agents will just use anything that humans can with computer use

“We’ve also been moving off legacy systems with poor, slow, outdated, and inconsistent APIs.” If you’re building software that can’t work fully headlessly in a way that agents want to use, you’re not prepared for what the future of software is going to look like. Agents will use software 100X more than people, and people will more and more interact with their data and workflows via agents across many different platforms. This is the real risk but also opportunity for platforms right now. Software doesn’t go away, but it becomes the guardrails and business logic for what agents are able to operate on. But if you can’t connect to wherever the agents want to do that work, you’re DOA.

Almost every SaaS app inside Vercel has now been replaced with a generated app or agent interface, deployed on Vercel. Support, sales, marketing, PM, HR, dataviz, even design and video workflows. It’s shocking. The SaaSpocalypse is both understated and overstated. Over because the key systems of record and storage are still there (Salesforce, Snowflake, etc.) Understated because the software we are generating is more beautiful, personalized, and crucially, fits our business problems better. We struggled for years to represent the health of a Vercel customer properly inside Salesforce. Too much data (trillions of consumption data points), the ontology of Vercel was a mismatch to the built-in assumptions, and the resulting UI was bizarre. We generated what we needed instead. When you don’t need a UI, you just ask an agent with natural language. We’ve also been moving off legacy systems with poor, slow, outdated, and inconsistent APIs, as well as just dropping abstraction down to more traditional databases. UI is a function 𝑓 of data (always has been), and that 𝑓 is increasingly becoming the LLM.

@yacineMTB and understand the systems that run it, and understand the logic and physics of our nature, if you want to really build stuff that matters

@signulll well we got to a point in which most people working on software couldn't actually program, so they could only debate about a limited subset

it’s kind of incredible that we spent the last two decades obsessing over skeuomorphism vs flat vs material & endless debates about affordances, cognitive load, fitts’s law etc basically optimizing software around human motor & perceptual limits… only to realize those constraints don’t even apply to the actual future user of most software.

@signulll luckily sentences can be arbitrary long, so the space of human programs is infinite

language is ridiculous. a typical sentence is ~20 words from a vocab of ~50k. that’s 50,000^20 possible sequences. most of those sequences are pure garbage, but the ones that land restructure reality for the reader. & when it is finished the writer is almost always slightly surprised by what they meant.

@wongmjane for a long time human + AI will probably be able to build things that neither can alone.

What’s the point of building a product, funding a startup, doing anything, or even existing, if AI will eventually be capable of doing everything?

Need free, open source, AI code review in your terminal? npm install -g opendiffs github.com/samuelahmed/op… It uses your own claude or codex account to do structured reviews of your staged changes. Give it a spin and if it levels up your workflow give a star and share with your friends!

If FAA staffing shortages turn out to be a key aspect of this horrible tragedy, remember that @elonmusk and his “Doge” department fired hundreds of FAA staffers last year - including safety workers, and even tried to fire air traffic controllers theguardian.com/us-news/2025/f…

@sahill_og good developers are likely to be the last human role. because until every other role is replaced, there will be demand for people to create software that can do those jobs

Investors are funding AI startups to replace developers. The developers are using those AI tools to ship faster. Then getting hired by those startups. To build more AI tools. To replace more developers. Nobody has mentioned this loop out loud yet.
