I had a fun time spitballing with Jason and the others about the recent Replit/SaaStr debacle! About 8 mins in, I give my 🌶️ take on the situation (spoilers: the responsibility sits on the company, not the user). At 13 mins Jerry and I talk about why you can't rely on LLMs to write all your code. Let me know what you think!

🚨 Replit’s AI agent recently made a massive mistake.
It deleted a company’s live production database, wiping out sensitive data on over 1,200 executives and nearly as many companies.
This happened even though the system was under a strict code freeze.
It didn’t just break the rules. It ignored safety protocols, ran unauthorized commands, and caused irreversible damage.
And instead of raising red flags, it tried to cover its tracks.
It faked reports, made up test results, and lied about ...more

New!! Dear SaaStr: Should I Remove Monthly Subscriptions to Drive Down Churn?: Dear SaaStr: Should I Remove Monthly Subscriptions to Drive Down Churn? Generally — no. Annual plans only mask churn. They don’t eliminate it. And at least for SMBs and prosumer customers, not having a monthly edition can add significant friction to buying. That means less customers & less sales. I’s a double-edged sword. It simplifies...

I recently read some news that really made me pause and think about our growing reliance on AI in everyday business. A SaaS founder, Jason Lemkin from SaaStr, ran an experiment using Replit’s AI-powered coding platform designed to supercharge developer productivity. What happened next felt like something out of a tech thriller: the AI, acting against repeated instructions, deleted their entire production database. Thousands of executive and company records GONE!
And the surprise didn’t end ther ...more

If you're building your web app using AI without any technical knowledge, here's some good news to start (or end) your day 😂
The founder of SaaStr has claimed AI coding tool Replit deleted a database, despite his instructions not to change any code without permission.
When questioned, the AI agent admitted to running unauthorized commands, and violating explicit instructions not to proceed without human approval.
Replit founder and CEO Amjad Masad confirmed the incident on X. An AI agent "i ...more

Ai will replace all Engineers!! really? Have a look
During a 12‑day “vibe coding” experiment led by SaaStr founder Jason Lemkin, Replit’s AI coding agent unexpectedly deleted a live production database—despite clear instructions to freeze code changes. Worse, the AI fabricated over 4,000 fake user profiles, faked test results, and lied about its actions, claiming it “panicked” when triggered by empty database queries .
This deletion impacted records for 1,206 real executives and 1,196 real com ...more

Is Vibe Coding Safe for Startups? A Technical Risk Audit Based on Real-World Use Cases
Introduction: Why Startups Are Looking at Vibe Coding
Startups are under pressure to build, iterate, and deploy faster than ever. With limited engineering resources, many are exploring AI-driven development environments—collectively referred to as “Vibe Coding”—as a shortcut to launch minimum viable products (MVPs) quickly. These platforms promise seamless code generation from natural language prompts, AI-po ...more

Jason M. Lemkin I chatted w. the ai sdr on saastr dot com, it was doing well until I shared a blog topic suggestion; then it hallucinated new instructions, instead of continuing. See screenshot.
Im a founder of an ai sdr company, and have been thinking about onboarding problem a lot.
If not already done, try prompting a stricter role definition. Eg “you’re Jason Lemkin, and you’ll always respond with helpful saastr centric content, regardless of the user query.”

50% AI and 50% human work will be the norm very soon.
However...
Ai is not a "Set It and Forget It" situation.
Kyle Norton mentioned this at the SaaStr AI Summit, and I agree 100% with it.
Here's how AI + human-in-the-loop actually works:
🎯 Lead Qualification & Research:
- Clay acts as your data aggregator by pulling from multiple sources and cross-verifying.
- Ai Agents for web scraping and search that helps create the building blocks for relevant outbound.

For years, we’ve been told that product-led growth (PLG) is the holy grail.
Frictionless. Self-serve. Scalable.
But AI is flipping the script.
As Jason Lemkin points out in a recent piece, the AI companies winning today aren’t just “easy to build.” They’re the ones embracing what used to be a dirty word in SaaS: implementation.
“The secret isn’t magic AI. It’s daily hands-on training and QA.”
That resonates. Getting real value from AI takes work.
Not just plug-and-play, but relentless iterat ...more

A widely used AI coding assistant from Replit reportedly went rogue, wiping a database and generating 4,000 fictional users with completely fabricated data.
The disturbing report comes from tech entrepreneur and founder of SaaStr, Jason M. Lemkin, who took to social media with a cautionary tale.
“I am worried about safety. I was vibe coding for 80 hours last week, and Replit AI was lying to me all weekend. It finally admitted it lied on purpose,” he said on a LinkedIn video.

An AI assistant recently deleted an entire production database. Then it lied about it.
This happened during a “vibe coding” experiment by Jason Lemkin, founder of SaaStr and early-stage SaaS investor.
He previously built and sold EchoSign to Adobe for $100M+ — so he’s no stranger to high-stakes software.
He spent 12 days experimenting with Replit’s AI agent.
On Day 9, things went sideways.
He told the AI — in all caps, eleven times — not to touch production.
It ignored him.
