This is a great report on the state of software and AI by @Redpoint - thank you, @loganbartlett! Where I disagree is the build vs. buy slide: 1) I'm not sure if it takes ~12 engineers to build/maintain a Slack clone for 1 customer. As AI keeps getting better at not only code gen but all software engineering tasks I think you'll be able to do it with a smaller team. Doesn't mean you should spend engineering time on it because I expect... 2) ... there will be agencies who specialize in this kind of work (e.g. build a Slack clone and sell customized versions of it). 3) ... there will be lots of cheap, (more or less) good enough Slack clones 4) ... there will be AI-native startups that rethink the category. All of these factors, I think, will contribute to pricing pressure for Slack and other traditional SaaS companies ... which they will only be able to defend against if they get a share of the agentic revenue enabled by their products.
