It was always the thinking, never the code. Every product you rent is carrying a thousand awkward edge cases someone already hit, argued over, and quietly solved so you never have to. That part doesn't show up in a diff, and it's the part you're buying.

Indeed, the real problem was never the code. It was the domain knowledge and the hard-earned tweaks and fixes that complemented it. The cumulative wisdom of all the thinking work that went into the product. However, I do think that headless SaaS with good API will have an edge in this age, do you?
