This article made no sense to me. It is talking about AI-generated code eating SaaS. That's not what is going to replace SaaS. When AI is able to do the job itself — without generating code — that's what is going to replace SaaS.

AI-generated code still requires software engineers to build, test, debug, deploy, secure, monitor, be on-call, handle incidents, and so on. That's very expensive. It is much cheaper to pay a small monthly fee to a SaaS company.

The bit about building an internal app for eg marketing or sales is super fun. Getting calls starting at 8am EST because they then (reasonably!) expect it to work less so. Software still has an enormous ktlo tax and until that changes, I'm skeptical about the entire thesis.

Not to mention the author appears to run a 1-2 person company, so ... yeah. AI thought leadership ahoy.
