Every SaaS business will become a harness around a model

    Who ever wrote this it seems it never built any serious software. Software factories don’t exist and you will put yourself in a corner in a dangerous position

      I’ve built a software factory and am using it to build an open-source alternative to every SaaS. What do you mean it’s not possible? A harness like Pi can be turned into a software factory with the right spec, extensions, skills, and a cron.

        I opened <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.openship.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.openship.org and tried the &quot;find me a t shirt&quot; example prompt, added one to cart, i clicked once and it was not working, so i clicked a second time and it added two of them, so i realized every interaction was super slow. Congratulations for your slop automated platform, and good luck having customers

          Also the software factory is actually making the B2B SaaS for me. The marketplace will interface with them so that comes a bit later. To judge the quality of the software factory, you can ask Claude to look at our Openfronts on GitHub, primarily the e-commerce and restaurant ones.
