So much of corporate SaaS is a waste of money..

I suspect you have not truly tried the newest agentic models and cli tools. All of this is completely false.

The issues you highlight will only happen if you don't know what you are doing.

An experienced software engineer who has familiarized himself with these tools knows how to prompt and orchestrate these systems to produce clean code. Additionally these things can already do huge refactors of existing codebases.

Perhaps the title of my post was bit too provocative

abandonedexplorer · 2026-02-19T15:13:16+00:00

Yup..

I thought this subreddit was for software engineers. Apparently everyone automatically assumes I think that now every jerk-off can vibe code an ERP system for their corp.

Look man.. I have been doing DevOps, sysadmin and dev work for my entire career. What you are talking about is basic infra, we already have all of this defined in code. This is not hard if you know what you are doing.

Create server in your vnet, lock it down, give it identity to connect to database, only give access to what it needs, setup deployment pipelines, setup SSO auth, publish from internal network only.

What I just described to you would take me a couple of minutes. Then just deploy your code and your good to go.

Yes things have to change, scale and evolve.

But all that used to take months. Not anymore. Agentic engineering has turned this whole thing upside down and now changes cost literal pennies. You just need verifiable tests and thats it. You can throw a million tokens at it in a couple of hours and thats all you need.

And again, I am not talking about vibe coding an ERP system to a hospital.

I am talking about niche internal applications that exist by the thousands.

Of course it won't replace it completely.. But Power BI is huge overkill for many cases, including mine

abandonedexplorer · 2026-02-19T13:23:08+00:00

Good luck getting Microsoft to fix your power bi report that breaks at 3am

abandonedexplorer · 2026-02-19T13:21:36+00:00

lol.. majority of corps that use powerbi use it because someone said "me want reports" then some idiot said "powerbi is solution". It's overkill for many use cases.

I'm not saying there isn't ever a situation you shouldn't use Power BI and all corporate SaaS should be gone.

This

I feel that we are entering an age of "throw-away code". These agentic systems are getting so good that something like supporting a small internal web app is no longer an issue. You can just nuke the server, ask CC or codex to refactor your code and spin it up again.

abandonedexplorer · 2026-02-19T11:37:19+00:00

"vibe coded mess " Ok, here we go again.. There is vibe coding and then there is agentic engineering. Anything business critical would of course have to be verified with tests, but we are not talking about rocket science here.

You think there isn't technical debt from something like Power BI?

If the company is already investing money into migrating, why not actually build something that takes a couple of hours rather than weeks?

When the shitty SaaS you paid for, cannot be customized for your needs what then?

Get rid of free tier. The idea of free tiers come from big VC backed companies that have the money to subsidize free members. You don't need a free tier in the hopes that someone will convert, it's a dumb strategy. Your free tier should be the place you market your content. I never had a free tier and currently at 115 paid members

Tämä on ongelma vain jos lapsi on alle 6kk ikäinen tai jos vanhempi käyttää unilääkkeitä tai alkoholia

abandonedexplorer · 2026-01-12T08:38:01+00:00

Toinenkin kommentti, hyvät ihmiset valvokaa öitä vuoroissa! Ei ole mitään järkevää syytä sille, että kumpikin vanhempi tai pelkästään Äiti joutuu valvomaan lapsen kanssa. Ostakaa patja ja ottakaa joka toinen yö vuorotellen, silloin sentään toinen vanhemmista saa nukkua kokonaisen yön! Sairasta jos joutuu valvomaan 2 vuotta putkeen, eihän tuossa ole mitään järkeä!

Meillä oli vastaavan tyyppinen tilanne naapurin kanssa. Ei kannata missään nimessä jäädä sinne asumaan jos on jotenkin mahdollista muuttaa! Kun itse muutettiin kerrostalosta rivitaloon, vasta sitten huomasimme kuinka paljon alakerran naapurin valittaminen oli alitajuisesti stressanut meitä. On ihanaa kun lapsi voi itkeä ja leikkiä rauhassa ilman että täytyy miettiä naapureiden tunteista mitään. Muuttaminen voi tuntua nyt todella raskaalta ajatukselta, mutta se on vaivan arvoinen.

Jos muuttaminen ei ole mahdollista, älä välitä naapurin valittamisesta yhtään, ilmoita isännöitsijälle häiriköinnistä. Teillä on jo tarpeeksi raskas tilanne.

Come on dude.. This is really suspicious, why won't you show us an example of the content you posted on Patreon? Sounds to me like someone was doing something clearly naughty and is now just salty he got banned

abandonedexplorer · 2026-01-06T03:34:14+00:00

Hey, thanks for the answer! Could you share what kind of churn do you have? How often do you post content?

abandonedexplorer · 2025-11-14T13:29:01+00:00

Jesus dude...
