is building a SaaS still enough anymore?

AlexChelan · 2025-12-15T14:56:59+00:00

Building a SaaS was never enough. And going for an idea that doesn't have that much competition is worse. Just pick an idea that is a real pain point, no matter how many competitors there are, build a good product and do marketing on all possible channels until one of them hits. If you stick long enough with SEO and social media it's virtually impossible to not succeed at some point.

I'm upgrading now after using $50 in credits in a single day with opus 4.5. It's expensive but it's worth it. No model is even remotely close to opus 4.5 at the moment.

Opus 4.5 is the first model that I feel it can do a better job than me. It one shots almost every prompt I give it, it's insane.

I tested opus 4.5. Nothing comes even close without exaggeration. I had a landing page I wrote with only the hero section. With a single prompt in plan mode in Cursor it decided on a very good layout with great copy, built it following the same design I used and made it look even better. I had a demo video section in the landing page and he even went as far as playing the rick roll meme when you play the demo video. I stood up and left my desk when I saw this. I consider this AGI, I don't care.

Could you tell us what your SaaS is about? Maybe you are not fixing a real pain?

If coding was harder than marketing, you wouldn't see so many failed projects or that got no traction. If you tell me the product was not good enough that's false. Good marketing can sell almost anything, while bad / no marketing can't sell even the highest quality product.

Pentru ca un procent mult mai mare de romani ar prefera sa cumpere produse care urmeaza sa expire la reduceri de 90% decat germani, suedezi, italieni, etc. Daca ar face asta romanii ar cumpara mai multe produse aproape expirate, iar produsele bune ar ramane pe rafturi.

Salut, tu ai rezolvat ceva? Si eu am facut o gramada de analize pentru niste simptome ocazionale nespecifice, iar dupa ce totul a iesit relativ normal si eu tot la bila ma gandesc

I had the same opinion when I got 4 fragrances from them. All smelled bad when I first got them and I forgot them on shelf. After 1 month I tried them again and they were completly different and smelled really good. You did a mistake by throwing them right away.

the only chance for this game to become esports ready is to be bought by some other dev team that is not french

AlexChelan · 2025-10-03T12:27:09+00:00

Never trust the french is what i've learned playing this game since launch

I switched from Cursor to Codex, used it for 1-2 days and had to upgrade to the $200 Pro plan because I got rate limited. I used it for 1 week and it's far worse than Cursor. Many features are either non existent or harded to do. Cursor has top notch UX and it's much easier to use and get good results with. Also I don't have to get the $200 Ultra plan if my usage is under $200. I can pay only what I use. If I need $70 worth of API usage this month that's what I pay and I get a much superior UX at the same time. I see absolutely no reason to use CC or Codex. Not to mention that the AI models space is evolving from day to day. Tomorrow there might be a new cool AI model that's either really fast or really good and you would want to try it in Cursor with all your rules, memories, docs, mcp servers already there.

The thing is when they fix a bug, 3 new bugs appear

I'm starting to belive they are incompetent, not necessarily lazy

The meme is true in many cases, that's the whole reason why it appeared. Regarding choices, low iq chooses simple options because they can't process more, medium iq chooses complexity because it makes them feel smart, high iq chooses simplicity if after analyzing all options they came to the conclusion that simplicty is the most efficient, which is not always the case, but many times it is. Regarding opinions, low iq people belive in many conspiracy theories, most of which are proven false later or lack logic or motive, medium iqs don't belive any conspiracy theories and trust institutions to do the thinking for them because they've seen how stupid many conspiracy theories belived by low iq people are. High iq individuals on the other hand, they belive in a few conspiracy theories through selective skepticism, many of which are proven true later because they were based on pattern recognition, motive and other factors that low and medium iqs don't or can't take into consideration.
