Calling it now.
AI is going to usher in a whole new era of software development. I’m calling it Software as a Service.
People will want to use these tools but they’ll realize they don’t want to spend the time to maintain and update them over time.
This will create a whole new category of businesses and entrepreneurs that can take on that task for businesses that would rather work on their core products.
AI is changing everything. This is a whole new paradigm of thinking about the way we interact with software.

The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month.

every product i use should just be a headless mcp, that feeds into an agent, where i never have to think about anything underneath.

Since I started used @UseKesh can't remember the last time I used Mpesa or Airtel money. I've saved this much, just enjoying zero fees when paying to Send money, Pochi and Paybills.
We get charged a small fee on every mobile money payment, so it’s easy to lose track of how much all those fees actually add up to.
At @UseKesh we just shipped a feature that keeps a running total of what you would have paid in M-Pesa fees for the same transactions. And by the way, we don’t charge any fees.
Here’s how much I’ve saved in fees since I started transacting on Kesh in June:

People are easier to govern when their suffering is framed as a personal failure rather than a systemic problem.

The real tragedy of living in a third-world country is that you can do everything right and still struggle because the environment is designed to make ordinary things unnecessarily difficult.
