Last week Daniel Miessler published The Fire of Fires, describing how he canceled six SaaS tools (Zapier, Resend, Figma, Canva, Browserbase, & Supabase), rebuilt the functionality himself using Claude Code and his personal AI harness, and used it as evidence that AI is about to burn through most of the SaaS industry. His story is clear and drives the “I canceled my SaaS” flex which is going to be all over LinkedIn for the next year.
But I don’t buy his conclusion.
