@TukiFromKL FACT CHECK — "Do you understand what happened in the last 24 hours?"

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 24 hours? > Zuckerberg killed the Metaverse after burning $80 billion on cartoon avatars nobody used > Sam Altman took $13 billion from Microsoft then sold OpenAI's cloud to Amazon for $50 billion.. Microsoft just found out they funded their own competition > Anthropic made an AI that takes orders from your phone and does your work while you sleep.. > X dropped a dislike button AND a mute-entire-countries button in the same week.. > YouTube asking you to flag AI slop is just Google getting 2 billion people to train their next model for free > 93% of US jobs can now be partly done by AI.. Same week companies started giving the weakest raises since 2008 > Apple started rejecting vibe-coded apps from the App Store > xAI is paying Wall Street bankers $100/hour to teach Grok how to replace Wall Street bankers.. They're taking the money.. > A mystery AI model appeared on benchmarks beating everything.. Developers think DeepSeek is quietly testing their next weapon > Bloomberg asked "Is the AI bubble about to burst" the same day Nvidia said the chip market will hit $1 trillion.. One of them is dead wrong.. > The UK government backed down on AI copyright after artists revolted.. First government to flinch > The Fed said rate hikes are back on the table and blamed AI data centers for making inflation worse And it's only Wednesday. See you tomorrow. It'll be worse.

@Dishpit @HubSpot what are you talking about

@saaskiller @HubSpot it's not, though 💀

having to contact my bank to put a stop payment on @HubSpot because i can't cancel my acct regularly since their login is broken is insaaaaaaaaaane

@walkojas Combining shared documents with reports built from live company data - huge unlock for drafting compelling proposals in seconds

@walkojas I'm building a replacement for evernote and looker studio for my main biz. Most of the employees don't even like evernote, why pay $90/mo for it? Google's looker studio is decent, but sometimes something simple takes hundreds of mouseclicks. Very UI heavy.

Hey builders, Looking to connect with people building: 🪙 Agentic Workflows 📷 SaaS 📷 DevOps 📷 Autonomous AI 📷 Side projects 📷 Marketing Drop what you're working on📷 📱📈👇

@walkojas @stevesolojourn slick looking interface!

@stevesolojourn Cool! Who's your ICP? I'm building Termino, Duolingo for AI learning termino.walkosystems.com

agent economy is coming is your website ready? 🏴‍☠️

@NoahKingJr work mates

Are you being friend with AI?

@RoundtableSpace building a single app that replaces my need for @evernote and @Google's looker studio. It's shaping up to be the perfect document creation and sharing tool for my business needs. I can write compelling reports and easily include charts and data to back up my recommendations.

What are you currently building?

Spoiler alert: human coders make mistakes too. Lots of them. They are so prevalent, there's a term that has come to be: bugs.

AI Skeptics: I'm better at coding. AI makes mistakes. AI Builders: Imagine we are in a foot race. You run perfectly @ normal human speed & never fall down. I am running at 500 mph, but every now and then I fall down and immediately get back up. Who will win? 🏴‍☠️

@elonmusk not letting x touch my money might get suspended for no reason by bitch ass @elonmusk robots

@amazonwithbrett I have been experimenting with obsidian recently I had every intention of using it for my notion replacement The thing I don't like is how things are stored in disparate vaults no way to search across vaults love the md concept but so far leaning toward a custom solution

I’m about to cancel Notion and move everything over to Obsidian. Mostly due to the fact I don’t use notion like I used to. Had it since 2018 but I feel it’s just wasting money and my notes can be held somewhere. I’m working to consolidate everything into the Google ecosystem. Anyone else do this?

@iamkylebalmer @abhijitwt set yourself free from renting SaaS ownership is the new alpha 🏴‍☠️

@abhijitwt the only impact notion ai has had on me is making me want to cancel notion it’s so pushy. clippy vibes

No one is using notion ai, chill dawg

@RafalTomal oooh yeah typeform is a pretty pricey one. good for you cancelling. Owning your own infrastructure is better 🏴‍☠️

Things that I'll most likely cancel this year: - Webflow - Typeform - SavvyCal - Adobe - Notion (that's a hard one! 😢) - Harvest (invoicing) I think the products are great, and it's not a huge saving for a business, but I just want to streamline and simplify it.

@kalashvasaniya We're no longer paying rent (notion) Owned infrastructure is the way of the future 🏴‍☠️

i cant live without notion, but every time i open it, i remember how much i hate it

@_jameslincoln @HubSpot owned infrastructure is the new alpha no more paying rent for rigid SaaS 🏴‍☠️

We decided to make a switch to @HubSpot and couldn't be more disappointed. Functionality was promised in the sales process that doesn't actually work. 10 days into our implementation we pulled the plug. They refuse to negotiate at all on the 12-month term.

@rchase @dharmesh this is the way 🏴‍☠️ keep building fam!

@dharmesh FWIW we recently canceled our CRM (not HubSpot) and built our own. Custom built better fit our internal work flows. If we used the other CRM we would have had to do a lot of dev work anyways. We're a software company > $3M ARR. I plan to vibe and cancel more SaaS internal tools.

"Why should companies pay for SaaS (HR/CRM/ERP/etc.) when they could just vibe code them?" I get variations of this question or comment with some regularity (granted, it's sometimes just me talking to myself). Here are some biased (but hopefully, well-considered) thoughts: 1) I am a big proponent and user of vibe coding (what I call "agentic coding"). I do it every day, 7 days a week, including Sundays. It's amazing. 2) My company, HubSpot is a software company. We have hundreds of professional engineers -- just about all of them use AI for product development too. They are brilliant and know how to build production-grade products. 3) Even with this powerful army of talent, the number of internal, core SaaS applications that we have replaced with a vibe-coded variant is exactly ZERO. The number of applications we plan to replace is also exactly ZERO. 4) It's not the absence of talent that keeps us from rolling our own SaaS apps, it's the presence of focus. It would be silly to try and replace our HR, team collaboration, expense tracking and 100+ other SaaS apps we use when we can just buy them. Just doesn't make sense. 5) That's us -- as a software company at some scale. If you're a non-software company it makes even less sense for you. Doesn't matter how good the AI coding tools get. Let's say you *could* vibe code a replacement for that SaaS app you're using, who's going to maintain it? Who's going to keep up with industry trends? What are you going to do when the 20-something genius that vibe coded it over a weekend leaves the company? Who do you call when there's a major bug? 6) If you're a Fortune 500 company at some scale, perhaps you could pull this off for some discrete use cases and the tradeoffs are worth it. You have an IT/Engineering department that is larger than the population of some countries. You can take on the pain in return for the positives. For the millions of others, my advice is: Spend every calorie possible on creating value for your customers.

Is your website ready for the agent economy?

@Priya_Upadhyay_ What's the going rate for a saas making $0?

My SaaS is currently making $0. Should I sell it, or should I continue working on it? (By the way, my SaaS is 8–9 months old.)
