>If you squint hard enough, much of SaaS is really just a big consulting package. The software is a shiny distraction to keep everyone participating. We only want to use just the right amount of software. No more, no less. The business can be much easier to change than the code in many cases. Sometimes back office processes completely evaporate when you get 2 employees together who have never met before. What a great paragraph and overall reply. Thank you. I really like the bit about shiny software in particular. Also, the quick point otherwise about arbitrary ideology. At the end of the day, a lot of us are not building products driven by some serious human/moral/emotional mission. Instead, they're fairly ordinary enterprise (or other) SaaS products. So - ok to take the money too.
