Our non-technical staff built custom tools instead of purchasing SaaS products, saving over $500,000 in software costs.

Founders are leveraging advanced coding assistants, indicating a shift in how software development is approached, with tools like Cursor gaining popularity over GitHub Copilot.

The shift in software engineering is towards orchestrating agents that write code, focusing more on reviewing code rather than handwriting it.

We're not adding any more software engineers next year because we've increased productivity with Agentforce and other AI technologies by more than 30%, resulting in incredible engineering velocity.

AI tools are enabling smaller software teams to accomplish what previously required larger teams, which will lead to improved product design and quality.

AI tools are changing the landscape of software engineering, lowering the entry barrier and potentially increasing the number of people creating software.

The trend of self-funding is emerging in SaaS, where companies can grow significantly with minimal teams, thanks to AI and low software development costs.

One founder mentioned that they no longer feel attached to their code, allowing them to make decisions about scrapping or refactoring with less bias, as they can code three times faster.

The future of software development will involve more people, including those in non-technical roles, building their own software tools, but they will still need to make critical decisions about functionality and metrics.
