Had a solstice themed birthday for my wife this weekend. I had AI create a cake design inspired by our dog, then had a baker make it. Here is the inspiration and the final product.

Man, what a contrast between GoogleIO and WWDC this year… All of Apples features thus far seem very meh. Basically a tax on anyone maintaining an existing application versus something that adds value to customers.

Some folks say only complex SaaS will survive now that anyone can build with LLMs. But most people know how to make coffee or grill a burger and still go to Starbucks or McDonald’s. It’s faster, more consistent, and they don’t have time to mess around. I could build my own Calendly with AI. But I don’t want to debug time zones or outages on a weekend. I’ll gladly pay for software that just works.

Disposable software isn’t new, tools like website builders, wedding registries, or Google Sheets for expense tracking have existed for years. What’s changed with LLMs is the speed and cost of designing, deploying, and iterating this type of software. This shift fundamentally changes user expectations and behaviors by altering the economics of software creation.

Lots of folks predict the end of SaaS because AI makes it easy to quickly vibe-code disposable todo lists or diet trackers. But how much throwaway software do you really want if you value your time? In an era flooded with AI-generated mediocrity, there’s huge value in software where details, edge cases, and security are thoughtfully handled—saving you time, money, and frustration.

Friday Demo: APX + Datadog catching missing database indexes! Found endpoint with 1-minute responses (39% in DB) & provided exact SQL fixes. Sometimes the biggest wins are hiding in plain sight. Try APX today, link below.

Unlike previous eras in my tech career, most of my gains in productivity and impact have not come from learning a new framework, platform or language (iOS, React, Typescript). But rather from learning new workflows and tool techniques (prompting, Cursor, etc).

Friday Demo time: Just recorded how APX integrates with Sentry to solve a Django N+1 queries. For simple issues, we auto-generate PRs. For complex ones, we deliver enriched prompts with production telemetry for Cursor/Windsurf no more unmergeable AI PRs. What should we demo next?
