For every dev who thinks "I could build this $30/month SaaS myself instead of paying for it" - the best thing you can do IS to build it!
You learn
1. How much work it is (just for the base case)
2. Edge cases the SaaS silently takes care of

Groan.this NYT Article is dangerous hype nonsense:
"They do not — and cannot — decide what is true and what is false. Sometimes, they just make stuff up.."
