Good, can't wait to go back to onpremises
>>108841077Spyware as a service
I actually read the article and the guy is right about one thing: if you ask your Saas provider to develop a feature your business can benefit from, then your competitors will benefit from it as well, so there's no point it.
Wow, Palantir reinvented IBM
>>108841077Long live SaaS
isnt palantir saas as well?
>>108841077He walks around and tells people what to do with that hair.>>108841194I don't follow.
>>108841077good, I was a ServiceNow codemonkey for a few years and I wish nothing more than for a swift execution of anyone involved with it
>>108841077Good morning Saas do not redeem.
>>108841246Wasn’t that started by some ex fellons? Rejects from perigrine?Anyone stupid enough to buy that deserves everything they get… i hope they take them to the cleaners.
>>108841077>his own company is a SaaS>tells others SaaS is dedoh boy
>>108841077Based, I had an entire fucking university course about SaaS, which was supposed to be "the future".I hate boomers so much it's unreal.
>>108841446Palantir has access to the databases of the FBI, NSA, ICE, TSA and if you ever applied to a visa they collected your social media info for their use too
>>108841238>I don't follow.not op, but i think what he is saying is, say SaaS company A provides a service to companies B and C. If B requests a features, which A implements, suddenly C benefits as well.
>>108841077Even that guy's hair wants to get away from him.
>>108841194>if you ask your doctor to help you and he does then you will not come back and he will lose money, so there's no point.
>>108841238Let's say you have a department whose job it is to deal with all of the customs rules when importing automobile parts. You ask the SaaS company you use to automate many of the compliance tasks your workers are constantly doing. The SaaS company does this and you're able to layoff half of the department. You seemingly gained an advantage over your competitors and now can undercut their prices (or increase your profit margin). That's very short lived as the SaaS company goes to your competitors, and offers them the same new functionality. They also layoff half of their Import Compliance department, eliminating your advantage.
>>108841077Alex Karp got his PhD at 34
>>108842423So? A Turing Award winner got his at 42.
>>108842372I wonder why people bother doing business with the EU.
>SaaS is dead>here, buy my SaaS insteadno, Satan, I don't think I will
>>108842496it's still big and wealthy market. barbarians and bureaucrats haven't razed it completely yet. but we're getting there.
>>108841077That guy is defying the world to shove a bullet in his skull.
>>108841194I know this dude hasn't done any real work once in his entire life, but companies cannot offer 80000 services because one person wants them, that's bloat and it kills companies.No, AI can't do it either, if anything AI will make this much worse.
>>108841077SaaaaaaS
>>108842372So you're telling me all my hacked work arounds are actually more valuable than I previously thought?
>>108841194>>108842343Basically this, yeah. SaaS doesn't generate infinite money because it has the potential to solve problems. Modern tech isn't about solving problems, it's about trapping you with NEW problems due to your reliance on it.
>>108842423He's generally right about the things he speaks on but he's also a clear psychopath that simply views himself as the modern version of a medieval king, managing the peasants and ensuring optimum cash flow to his bank account. Which is funny because as a tech company, his company isn't even that highly rated as a shareholder asset. Being relentlessly evil making articles like "Do the plebs really NEED to eat?" has severe downsides to your reputation as a businessman.
>>108843163They always were, the dirty secret of every industry is that they're held together with kludge engineers making edge-case fixes. ESPECIALLY I.T.
>>108841077Doesn't this jigger run a SaaS company?
>>108841232Yes it is lmao
>>108841077Most dysgenic jew i've ever seen
>>108841077what is this emperor palpatine fuck? this the same dude who's obsessed with the anti-christ?
>>108841246I drive by their headquarters pretty often. Any requests?
>>108842789It would be uploaded into another meat suit and things would keep on as usual.
>>108841194>so there's no point itGenerally implementing something that reduces toil isn't going to give you some magic edge regardless of what your hype prone product manager thinks, so it's fine if every potential competitor has it. The non-competitors who also use the same SaaS product will get those productivity gains as well, and their gains have the potential of benefiting you.Karp is short-sighted and retarded, as usual.
>>108843453Saas typically have workflows that are agnostic enough for any business to use. This is why there's so much work for cludge engineers. They fill gaps left, inevitably, by agnostic SaaSware.
>>108841194>>108842372you are describing palantir. I am confused. https://nabeelqu.substack.com/p/reflections-on-palantir
>>108841194So it's all the downsides of opensource software with none of the upsides.
>>108844007Lots of words, well, not like they can tell everyone about the Mossad backdoors.
>>108841077Why is it always the ugliest people who never lifted a tool in their lives trying to tell the world what to do?
>>108844007>This is how much of the Foundry product took initial shape: FDEs went to customer sites, had to do a bunch of cruft work manually, and PD engineers built tools that automated the cruft work. Need to bring in data from SAP or AWS? Here’s Magritte (a data ingestion tool). Need to visualize data? Here’s Contour (a point and click visualization tool). Need to spin up a quick web app? Here’s Workshop (a Retool-like UI for making webapps). Eventually, you had a damn good set of tools clustered around the loose theme of ‘integrate data and make it useful somehow’. are those tools really that great? I don't get it sounds like a weekend project how does that makes them worth a billion. I am quite sure Europe has a bunch of these firms mostly run by physcists or lawyers.
I 'm going to throw this example at you. US car companies kept selling a future where you car drove itself by 2015, because they assumed that DOT would be able to standardize and maintain the infra that would have made it possible for car manufacturers to benefit from that tech. If DOT did it for one state, then more states would get their congressmen to approve projects to proliferate the tech. It never happened because the fucking auto companies lobbied themselves not for long-term planning but for short-term gains in taxes and bailouts. DOT never made the infra so in 2026 we still don't have self-driving cars. Now think about SAAS and think about why would they work to make long-term benefits for all customers?
>SaarS is dead
>>108841077>That hairline
>>108844486Getting pretty tired of it, honestly.
>>108844007>>108841077these two articles are some of the most interesting things ive read because of /g/ in a while. ive had to implement so many saas shitewares for dumb companies, and they all need some work around because of local regulations, business specific workflows, etc. these companies fixate on the Saas being the problem, when these guys would tell you the alpha is in what your shiteware ISNT doing. the one issue i see is that if you were to read this and AVOID saas, you'd have to build a lot of basic functionality yourself (eg a customer database). I think it would still make sense to use industry specific saas and pay some kludge engineer to build any needed workarounds/automations/etc
>>108842372SaaS better learn to sandbox for just out company then. Bunch of faggots- Anthro does it for USGov and for Glasswing. Stop being so daft, Pete. A plug-in or add-on or parallel running macro would work or just API their system into your harness. Faggots abound.
>>108842372>You seemingly gained an advantage over your competitors and now can undercut their prices (or increase your profit margin). That's very short lived as the SaaS company goes to your competitors, and offers them the same new functionality.The profit margin is increased due to lower costs to operate, not through paying the operators less. The workers can get paid more.
