Good point! For me the only change that happened so far (because the agentic product was better) was switching from JetBrains to Cursor. I'm sure this will happen with more products I use in the future
Really interesting read, thank you!
I'm currently working for a very traditional SaaS company (let's call us FooBar for the discussion), and I can say that this fear is very real. We talk a lot about the "FooBar killer" which is a theoretical startup company working right now on a better solution than ours. We know that there are a few of those and we even started working on one of our own exactly because of that. If you can't beat the "engineers with a spare Friday afternoon" you might as well join the attempt to replace you.
