It's not doomerism. I've seen this happen at companies.
I was talking to a guy who wanted uptime monitoring. So, he told the executive who called the uptimerobot but then other guy rolled out his uptime robot using AI in 60 minutes and deployed along with centralized logging and it costs the company only $5 VPS.
And honestly it works just as good, I've seen companies are refusing to pay for external tools and building leaner version using AI.
You can build a SaaS faster now but the need for SaaS is on decline.
I've moved to deploying on bare metal from OVH and Hertzner, why? Because devops is completely reduced to few minutes worth of work using agents.
