> Sure, but what do I do, if that service just closes tomorrow? You're far more likely to die tomorrow than Notion to close abruptly tomorrow.

  I have outlived most SaaS products that have ever been developed.

  Is this true though? Doesn’t pass the sniff test since most people last a lot longer than most companies. I checked and the probability of death for an American in their 30s (median American is 37 years old) is under 0.2% in any year. I think there’s a far larger than 1 in 500 chance that Notion goes under or is acquired and cancelled.

    Parent means it figuratively: you're majoring in the minors if your reason for not relying on services / others is the _possibility_ that one day they go away.

    I read it as your company dying although if that was implied should probably use the same 'closed' term

  The bliss of inexperience :) Services shut down all the time. I've been selling indie software for a bit more than a decade, and at least half a dozen services that I was using have either shut down, pivoted, or slowly became crappy enough that I had to move. Of course, that doesn't mean that you should build everything yourself, that's not practical. But the stuff that I have built myself doesn't suddenly stop working.
