Go tell a marketer that if they use Segment they can onboard new marketing tools and it'll 'just work' without any engineering time, and they'll shit a brick. (

Go tell a marketer that if they use Segment they can onboard new marketing tools and it'll 'just work' without any engineering time, and they'll shit a brick. (the data warehouse part is imho folly.)
- irq11 9y agoYes, I see this value. But again, that's something that could rather easily exist as an open-source, self-hosted tool, and I kind of wonder why the middleman hasn't been optimized away. We're in a world where people would rather self-host github to save a few bucks...this is an easier problem.
- pclark 9y agoopen source is basically dead courtesy of SaaS. people would much rather pay a few bucks than self-host. hell, there are entire successful companies that 'just' host open source software and wrap it up in a SaaS experience.
