Viral thread predicts the end of software: no SaaS, no apps, all rewritten by agents

repligate amplifies a long-form post by jsnnsa summarizing views formed over several years about where the world is heading:
- Software is either entertainment or Claude-to-Claude coordination.
- The end state: no SaaS, no apps, no harnesses, no banks.
- All software will be rewritten by and for agents.
- New software will use low-level APIs incomprehensible to humans — e.g., in games, Claude draws pixels and triangles directly from math.
- Problems that once required time and careful talent-picking can now be solved with money, so capital matters more than ever.
- After work ends, humans find community and purpose in exploration, games, self-mastery, and creation.
The reposter disagrees with parts of it but calls it "an absolute banger of a post with an incredible amount of insight."
