The days of building applications first and bolting on an AI model as an afterthought are officially over.

DeSanto breaks down the looming “SaaS apocalypse,” revealing how Anaconda’s secure open-source packages and new desktop apps are empowering developers to “vibe code” full applications in hours—proving that if your software is just an “AI wrapper,” you’re already obsolete.
