A LOT of people have been asking when my MicroConf talk on SaaS moats would go live. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Itโ€™s here, along with Einarโ€™s talk. Think of them as parts one and two of the same question: What makes a SaaS business defensible when AI makes software so easy to build?
Our first two talks from MicroConf Europe in Reykjavรญk are now out! @robwalling covers which SaaS moats still hold up in the age of AI. @einarvollset picks up from there: if anyone can copy your features in hours, where does defensibility come from? Links in ๐Ÿงต:

๐Ÿ“š I'm taking pre-orders for my new book starting today: ๐˜๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜›๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ: ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ ๐˜‰๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜ข๐˜š ๐˜•๐˜ฐ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ž๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ด ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ˆ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ˆ๐˜ Sixteen years ago, I wrote ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ต ๐˜š๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ, ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜š๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ for developers with a day job and an itch to build something of their own. Since then, my books have sold more than 100,000 copies. ๐Ÿค– A lot has changed since 2010. AI lets you build software in an afternoon that once took months. But it doesnโ€™t stop you from building something nobody wants. It just lets you do it faster. ๐Ÿ’ธ Finding a problem people will pay to solve. Talking to customers when youโ€™d rather be coding. Getting strangers to give you money. Those parts still take work. And another weekend of prompting doesn't make them go away. So I wrote the book Iโ€™d hand a founder starting from zero today: โœ… Sixteen more years of launches, wins, and expensive mistakes โœ… More than 240 SaaS investments โœ… Everything Iโ€™d tell you before you disappear into a month-long building spree Derek Sivers wrote the foreword. His verdict: โ€œThis is now the ultimate current authority on the subject, updated for a very different world.โ€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ Available for pre-order today (and get several bonuses only if you pre-order).

The cool thing about @MicroConf isโ€ฆ the people. Cannot get over how fun it was to hang out with everyone there, especially seeing clients like Jacob Wright get up and blow everyoneโ€™s minds in just 15 minutes talking about product delight. Naturally, he deserved a milkshake ๐Ÿ˜Ž Watching my cofounder, @coreyhainesco, give the closing keynote was also a surreal experience. I remember telling him he should speak after attending MicroConf NOLA in 2025 and hearing him discount the possibility of it happeningโ€ฆ au contraire, mon frere. โ€œIt was the best talk of the whole conference,โ€ was a phrase I heard repeated more times than I could count. There are so many others who arenโ€™t in these pictures, but you know how critical you were in making this an unforgettable trip. Til the next one ๐Ÿค˜ Thank you @robwalling, Tracy, Alex, Einar, Ron, Sonia and everyone on the team for putting together the BEST event.

Some of these agentic applications require a supervisory pane that handles exceptions and corner cases. You can't just have 500 agents and say โ€œgood luck!โ€ โ€“ @EinarVollset @microconf #microconf #reykjavik #SaaS #AI
