With tools like Lovable, UI Bakery, bolt.new, Cursor and Base44, I've seen marketers, sales folks, and even product managers create micro-SaaS without writing a single line of code. I've been experimenting myself, building a small attribution tool on Lovable. ## Mechanism That changes a lot in the B2B space. Because suddenly, a SaaS that only solves one problem isn't enough. ## Conditions Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type). Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism. ## Evidence > "I believe that AI is about to wipe out an entire generation of SaaS companies." ยท Praveen Das, LinkedIn, 2026-04-10 ## Signals - The team observes the pattern repeating across multiple cycles before naming it. - Practitioners stop questioning the discipline once results compound. - Skipping the step shows up as friction within one or two iterations. ## Counter-evidence No opposing view in current corpus. ## Cross-references - (none in current corpus)
