built an SRE agent in 2 days (first commit to live in prod) cto.new/blog/we-built-…




Cloning any random piece of SaaS is something that could already be done before agentic coding, and the economics of it haven't changed meaningfully. Before, writing the clone would cost 0.5-1% of the valuation of the legacy SaaS company. Now it might be 0.1%. It doesn't make a difference -- if you can pull it off profitably today you could also have done it profitably in the past. The code is a very small part of the process of making such a clone successful, and the reason legacy software has often bad UX is not because code was expensive to write.
