Wake up.
Every profession deemed white-collar, the middle class dream, is about to be decimated by AI, at a much faster pace than anticipated, with monstrous social consequences.
I'm 62. I'm supposed to be slowing down and talking about the good old days of the internet. Instead I'm building new things with AI almost every day and having more fun than I did in 1995.
In 1994, software was dead. People told me programming was for nerds and that I should become a doctor or a lawyer instead.
In 2004, software was dead. People told me that someone from India would take my job for $5/hour.
In 2014, software was dead. People told me that no-code was going to kill every job and doom my career.
In 2024, software was dead with Devin, Windsurf, Copilot, and OpenAI o1.
We kill software every 10 years, and yet the demand for good Software Engineers has never been higher.

Anthropic's Market Cap and Revenue vs. 35 SaaS Stocks
Anthropic is preparing for an IPO. Its revenue reached $4.73B in Q1 2026 and surged to $11.5B in Q2 2026, representing +143% QoQ growth.
Revenue growth at such an extraordinary rate is unlikely to remain sustainable over the long term and will inevitably normalize.
According to a PitchBook analysis, Q3 2026 baseline revenue is estimated at $16.3B, suggesting growth will slow to +41.8% QoQ.
I compared Anthropic's estimated $2T market cap with 35 publicly traded SaaS companies facing Moderate to High Disruption Risk from Anthropic.
Combined market cap of all 35 SaaS companies is $948B, less than half of Anthropic's estimated market cap.
However, their combined Q2 2026 revenue reached $53.4B, compared with Anthropic's $11.5B, meaning the 35 SaaS companies generated 4.6x more revenue.
Looking at valuation multiples, the combined TTM revenue of these SaaS companies is $212B.
For Anthropic, I used its July 2026 annualized revenue run rate of $65B. Run rate represents the latest monthly revenue multiplied by 12, making it a useful metric for evaluating rapidly growing companies.
Based on these figures:
SaaS stocks: P/S at 4.5x
Anthropic: P/S at 30.7x
Anthropic's valuation multiple is 6.8x higher than the combined P/S of the 35 SaaS companies.
Is Anthropic really worth its estimated $2T market capitalization?
