SAASpocalyse Now

The hour I truly believed in the SAASpocalyse.

Based on a true story:

Bilbo Baggins meme: After all, why not have Claude write a service that automatically syncs my Withings scale to my Garmin account, tags my Strava rides with the right bikes, and lays the groundwork for a virtual coach

For me, the hour I truly believed in the SAASpocalyse was when I accomplished the meme in a couple of prompts, then found myself asking: “umm.. remind me again, why should Garmin Connect be the hub for all my fitness data?”

A Strava activity automatically tagged with the correct bike
The payoff: rides auto-tagged with the right bike. This one was me towing Ethan to t-ball on the WeeHoo, deep in my Late Bandit Heeler phase.

The plumbing is a tiny webhook service. The code’s here.

Two colleagues and an Iron Man friend are also baking health-related home-baked solutions that scratch different itches. There’s something happening here.
