Big SaaS vendors who laid people off then blamed Al would be unwise to underestimate the danger that this group of engineers can create for them.
Is it easy to reverse engineer serious SaaS products? NO.
Could this group of engineers do it?
YES.
How?
- Real software engineering skills
- Open-source Al tools and models
- A sense of revenge for being thrown away like old vegetables by a group of execs who never understood their value
I love what this group is doing.
