@vchennai2 it’s growing day by day.

[Hafiz Muhammad Atif @chatif432]

@khan_kilo Yes but a huge client base thinks the same. Hey! complete this one so users can start using it. Way of finding more work and putting more pressure

Second extension in a week. Coincidence that this dropped right after GPT-5.6 went live? Anthropic isn’t giving away compute for fun

[Hafiz Muhammad Atif @chatif432]

@jeebz_a Yes Exactly. Tracking ownership and accountability is the biggest challenge from day 1.

One question I keep asking while building compliance platforms is:

Do organizations still need SaaS products for compliance when AI can generate almost anything?

I think the answer is yes—more than ever.

AI can help generate policies, summarize regulations, draft control descriptions, map frameworks, answer questions, and even accelerate development. It is becoming an incredible productivity tool.

But compliance is much more than generating content.

Organizations still need a platform that can:

• Manage evidence throughout its lifecycle
• Track ownership and accountability
• Version policies and controls
• Link requirements across multiple standards
• Record approvals and audit trails
• Automate recurring assessments and workflows
• Maintain a single source of truth for audits

This is where SaaS platforms provide the real value.

The exciting part is how AI changes how these platforms are built.

Features that previously took weeks can now be prototyped in days. Engineers can spend less time writing repetitive boilerplate and more time solving complex domain problems like evidence relationships, control mappings, multi-framework compliance, permissions, and workflow automation.

AI isn’t replacing compliance software.

It’s enabling teams to build smarter compliance products faster while allowing engineers to focus on architecture and business logic instead of repetitive implementation.

The competitive advantage is no longer just having AI.

It’s combining AI with a well-designed SaaS platform that understands how compliance actually works.

Coding agents to developers:

You’re all getting promoted to Product Managers, whether you like it or not.

[Hafiz Muhammad Atif @chatif432]

.NET dev: I prefer C# over Python because it’s strongly typed

Me: Python has a better type system than C#. It has unions

.NET dev: I have no idea what you’re talking about but at least .net has runtime safety

Me: no it doesn’t. Nullability is not enforced

Everyone is saying “AI is taking software engineering jobs”

BUT the largest hiring dataset in tech (SignalFire, 80M+ companies) found engineers were the MOST resilient function in 2025.

- Total hiring: down 25%.
- Design: down 48%.
- PM: down 39%.
- Engineering hiring: down ONLY 11%.

AI isn’t coming for good engineers anytime soon.

[Hafiz Muhammad Atif @chatif432]

Software engineers - the moment is coming when everyone realises it was never about MVPs and toy applications, and that your true value lies in architecture and the quiet backend stuff that makes things work. The revolution is coming. Keep your powder dry

[Hafiz Muhammad Atif @chatif432]

Don't quit your 9-5 job for building startup:

- no salary
- no vacations
- stress

stay in comfort zone forever

[Hafiz Muhammad Atif @chatif432]

I keep hearing that building with AI is easier than ever before, and yet I don't see that many new good applications?

Why haven't I seen a significant increase in quality in the apps I use every day? Why aren't they bursting with new and useful features?

[Hafiz Muhammad Atif @chatif432]

@Laurin__ resources are heating due to summer that’s why 😉

[Hafiz Muhammad Atif @chatif432]

@arpit_bhayani exactly the same way you can’t keep asking LLMs they always come up with suggestions. it’s the mai point of engineering now to identify correctly

@sama Save your ass. You guys are stuck at one place… Generating slop is not recoverable

[Hafiz Muhammad Atif @chatif432]

@DanielSmidstrup Can’t exactly follow what I say. It cannot remain intact while it’s changing de coupled code. leaving ripple affects
