I'm very happy that alternate universe doesn't exist. Libraries outnumber SaaS products 100 to 1 and I remember wrangling with software licenses on library implementations in the early 2000s. It sucked.
- hedora 6y agoDistribution (the internet) and open source disrupted that business out of existence. I think we need something like that for the cloud. Pay an interchangeable cloud provider a monthly pittance, and they host your choice of services as turnkey solutions. No more centralization of data, and no more paying $5/mo for a service wrapper around some FOSS CLI tool.
