What makes it “working”, is that the Software part of Software as a Service, is available as a Service.
The service doesn’t have to scale to a million users. It’s still a SaaS if it has one customer with like 4 users.
Is this a pedantic argument? Yes.
Are you starting a pedantic fight about the specific definition of SaaS? Also yes.
Lol they don’t need scaling and redundancy to work. They just need scaling and redundancy to avoid being sued into oblivion when they lose all their customer data.
As a full time AI hater, I fully believe that some code-specialized AI can write and maybe even deploy a full stack program, with basic input forms and CRUD, which is all you need to be a “saas”.
It’s gonna suck, and be unmaintainable, and insecure, and fragile. But I bet it could do it and it’d work for a little while.
I hope this is satire 😭
For a long time we’ve said it’s important to separate semantics and presentation (eg html vs css).
I’ve always wondered why we never followed our own advice when creating new programming languages. Let the IDE present whatever TF you want, and in the background it’s simply building an Abstract Syntax Tree and serializing that to a file in whatever serialization format it prefers.
I’ve dreamed of making my own data-flow language that follows that principle, but I have neither the knowledge of compilers nor the free time to try.
He exposed himself as a poser especially as a bash programmer
I need to know 😭
It’s such a stupid joke that I prefer to interpret it like this:
He discovered that he is the source of the woke mind virus, and then he forcefully lobotomized himself.
The confusion is an affectation they’re putting on because the execution of the joke is just so poor.
I especially love that he didn’t say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it’s from root, so he lobotomized himself.

Hamas might be genocidal.
Israel is genocidal.
I’m not gonna go so far as to say Hamas are good guys, but treat people according to what they have done and not what they may do. They’re not currently on the same level.
Counter counter point: maybe
Oh fuck they’ve begun to mix!
Don’t you dare shatter my dreams
A bit unconventional, and certainly not high fantasy, but: John Dies At The End by David Wong.
I have a separate phone for work. Not government or anything. I have a bunch of personal apps on it, but I don’t like having my only phone be owned by my work.
Perchance
You almost got the joke. You were right there
but the world is more complex than that
Proceeds to give the absolute most naive surface level interpretation
Ok then.
What is it that you think I’m arguing, that those figures would be impactful.
I explicitly said that I’m not calling China’s economy unstable, that instead I’m using hypotheticals to discuss the joke itself.
Kinda.
Ignoring the pedantic take that nearly every website is a saas.
And the slightly less pedantic take that every interactive website is a saas
If your website is an app that does a thing that a user wants, it’s a saas.
Your website just does mpeg to gif transcoding? That’s a saas. Online text editor? SaaS. Online tamagotchi? SaaS.
If it doesn’t scale to the number of users who want or need to use it, then it’s not a very good SaaS. But SaaS it is.
