I opened LinkedIn today (out of habit) and the first post was someone explaining how much Slack costs and that with AI every company can build their own Slack for $100. So that person decided to build an open source Slack clone using Claude Code. Granted, these were a few sane comments showing good alternatives that have already been built.

But for me it's been a signal that people have no imagination, so they are just burning tokens for no reason.

Is it not the business model of these companies ? Bill per token and stuff

NIH = more token = good for business
