Good luck building something of value with "day to day coding". If you're going to compete in the future economy, you're going to compete at the frontier. The low hanging fruit will be of no value. If I can recreate your SaaS with an open weight model at a fraction of the cost, then your SaaS has no value.
the vast majority of successful SaaS offer capabilities or services no where near the frontier.
furthermore i'd argue that the success of an saas, or really any startup, has more to do with things aside from the code and service itself.
Finance management, social connections and effects, word of mouth, networking -- probably all more important than whether or not the todo app uses a functional language and is formally proven.
