All modern SaaS is just other SaaS glued together

And when you get home to check out the results, you won't understand any of the code :)

This is a completely insane way to check how many emails I have in my inbox I love it.

The good times are yet to come though: when all the slop held together by spaghetti, duct tape, chewing gum and hairballs starts falling apart and someone needs to fix it. If the slop bubble doesn't start popping soon, in 10 years a handful of people will end up being better paid than COBOL developers are now cause they'd be the only one that know what a compiler is. Personally I'm not too enthusiastic about the prospect so if I'm lucky, I'll be enjoying early retirement and watching all hell break loose from a camper van near the sea somewhere.

I tend to call this sort of "I glued a bunch of external services together to make a useful tool" Software Plumbing, not Engineering.

Anyways I think what you've demonstrated that it's actually a really bad time to be a "Duct Tape Engineer" because anyone with a bit of knowhow can coax the AI to build them some pile of loose data pipes and leaky abstractions that appears useful. The market for this sort of software builder is about to get very crowded

It's the spaghetti code years all over again but with ai. :)
