Day 13 - Everything as a Service (EaaS)

October 23, 2025

In this episode, Guy Reams humorously explores the concept of "Everything as a Service" (EAS), inspired by the proliferation of service models like SaaS and PaaS. He envisions a business model that offers everything, claiming it as the ultimate value proposition. However, he humorously realizes that the ultimate service already exists in humans, who are adaptable and scalable. Concluding with a witty twist, he considers pivoting to "Nothing as a Service" (NAAS), offering guaranteed uptime and total surrender.

This is day 13. Everything is a service. I've done it.

After years of watching SaaS, PaaS, and even Cas, Coffee as a Service? Flood the market. I've reached the inevitable conclusion. I can create everything as a service, or EAS. Yes, everything. Finally, a business model that answers every investor question with divine precision. What's your value proposition? Simple. I can give you everything. That's the most valuable thing, isn't it?

What's your moat? No one else can serve everything but me. Believe me, I've checked. What's your secret sauce? A proprietary black box. You put stuff in, things happen, and eventually you get results. Sometimes. We don't measure time in my new company. We measure inevitability. And then it hit me. This concept sounded kind of familiar.

A service that can process infinite inputs, adapt to almost every situation, self-improve through trial and error, and occasionally crash under emotional load. Wait a second, am I describing a human? Turns out the ultimate everything service already exists. Perfectly designed for this environment, endlessly scalable, though questionable reproduction strategy, and internally beta.

But alas, I hired my attorney for $1,750 an hour and it looks like God already filed the patent. So back to the drawing board. Maybe I'll pivot to nothing as a service, NAAS. Guaranteed uptime, zero dependencies, total surrender.
