Build vs Buy: The New Software Dilemma

Salesforce and Microsoft posted great financial results, then their stocks tanked anyway. The market's fear? That AI coding tools will let everyone build their own CRM, ERP, and business software—killing the $100B+ SaaS industry. But is this fear justified, or is something more nuanced happening? In this strategic discussion, the gang debates whether companies will really build versus buy in the AI era. You'll discover why opportunity cost and differentiation still matter, how subscription fatigue is driving build decisions, and why the real threat to SaaS isn't companies building their own Salesforce—it's new entrants picking off niches and deflating margins across the industry.
