>> How do you clone the important parts of Okta, Jira, Slack and more? With coding agents!

> This is what's going to gut-punch most SaaS companies repeatedly over the next decade

but there's already clones of the important parts of those systems and yet the SaaS world survives. The code used isn't the secret sauce and people in SaaS know writing the code is 10% of the effort in keeping those businesses on their feet.

I don't think the SaaS industry is on the ropes until coding agents can do things like create a recommendation algorithm better than Spotify and YouTube. In those cases the code/algorithm is indeed the secret sauce and if a coding agent can do better than those companies will be left behind.
