The Death of SaaS
At the beginning of my career, we didn’t have SaaS.
Tech companies would just build whatever they needed. Even smaller businesses had things like home-baked hour sheets, CRMs, or even ERPs. This is how we got “legacy software”. Mostly they were terrible, built by a rotation of poorly motivated summer interns, and everyone complained all the time.
Then SaaS happened. Just like there’s an app for that, there’s for sure a SaaS for that.
