I just read this gem, and followed Scott here - who would have thought, he's on our lovely Farcaster.
Didn't really get the WinRAR reference (didn't exist in Win 3.1), but I do get shareware. Which is what this brilliant post is abot! There are also some gems that i do agree with:
- "every task that used to require a team will become a Thursday afternoon project. But not revolutionary, world-changing projects. Just... adequate ones."
- "The tools won't try to do everything. They'll do one thing. Adequately." - now this is kind of the unix philosophy of tools. But they focus on doing one thing *well* - so that's what we need to aim for.
- SaaS is about to go through some changes, for sure. It really depends who you're selling to - top down, bottom up, and your sales cycle (yes, there are 6-figure SaaS apps that have months long sales cycles)
- I think there's some confusion with Linus re: many eyes make bugs shallow - because even the AI, as it gets better, still spits out bugs (but what vibe coders totally do well is switch to another LLM and find that it may fix the bug - this again, has a lot to do with context, and math)
But overall, the conclusion in the Adequate Enlightenment is what you're after. There is nothing in the image I can disagree with.
Bring on the new age of shareware! 1 reply
