What I can’t get my head wrapped around with this whole SaaS death thing: do people think that the vendors themselves aren’t going to get similar gains out of the tech you’re using to vibe your own version? And thus, doesn’t any velocity gain equalize?

I found my own site, as well, and I found that particularly charming.

Recently went back [0] to the open web and feel like this inclusion alone justified that move.

Thanks for sharing. Humble and heart-warming way to end 2025 for an old Internet man.

I love this.

Well down the road of this journey myself:

Working on killing a lot of JS, albeit my 10 year old Bootstrap theme still has a bunch that's not really necessary.

Men will conceive complex manual and philosophical workflows and theoretical all-in-one SDKs just go to avoid going to Heroku.

Really all that needs to be said. Self-defeating post.

Imo, Github has only been moving further in the right direction lately — and more social features ain't it, chief.

The better value proposition lift from giving folks and teams more free private repos was huge, and the increasingly-prominent integration of Github into enterprise tools is facilitating (if not helping to force) the modernization of enterprise dev outside the software industry.

I've never been a bigger fan of Github, personally. Microsoft seems to be doing the same with Github that it did with Minecraft: amplifying what it does well, fixing what it didn't, and making it more accessible to more folks the way they want to consume it — all while not compromising what made it great to begin with.

Former TouchBistro director of PMM cosigning on this exact approach being useful and used by us at the time.

I'm kind of in love with you after writing this. Thank you for doing what so few product and service companies do: naming a product in a manner that makes it almost instantly-understandable as to what problem it solves.

Wrote this up out of frustration tonight. Would love to hear from other PMs on here about what they've done to effectively scale product at their orgs.

Good eyes! We were there after a con at Rackspace! It was as deadly as you've foretold.
