But saas is dying, right?

Agree. A consultant with pricing power is very different from a disguised employee. The line seems to be whether you can set terms, choose clients, and build leverage.

Yeah, that’s the case I had in mind: B2B in form, employee-like in practice, with more risk pushed onto the individual.
Bobby_Liu··on Anybody Working on Agentic Payment?
I recently tested the Coinbase agentic solution using a real agent-to-agent/human workflow. It is quite interesting:

Now looking to test other solutions and am open to any good suggestions.

Bobby_Liu··on My PM agent suggests firing my coding agents and creating a replacement
My agent doesn't have the capability to hire human contractors yet. However, if she ever gains that ability, it would be hilarious to have her say: "Agent Wonyoung is failing at this; let's find a human to take over instead."
Bobby_Liu··on My PM agent suggests firing my coding agents and creating a replacement
I'm developing a mobile app, and my PM agent "Giselle" —completely out of nowhere—suggested that my coding agent "Wonyoung" is underperforming and recommended replacing her with a newly created agent.

This is wild. I never told her she had the authority to do that. She somehow figured out that she could, and she just did it.

What kind of self-intelligence or self-awareness is that? It's honestly scary.
