Yeah the way I think of it is that most big organizations are willing to burn the costs of a whole employee or a whole team to avoid adopting new/risky software

As long as the cost is kinda spread out and not directly visible by management
So yeah just being 20% better doesn’t mean anything, because most big orgs are much more inefficient than that anyway, almost across the board
- hobs 2y agoMany people have to remember that the initial glut of SaaS sales were because they were transferring old and very broken software models into one they could charge a monthly fee on. Most younger folks wont have an experience of enterprisey stuff like remoting into a terminal server so that you could run a fat client in a shitty and slow network connection, or have the most awkward tech stack installed on your local computer. Moving to "its just a website" was way more than a 200% improvement on many things, even with the tradeoffs that javascript gave, moving people to the next level of more streamlined workflows doesn't have nearly the sales pitch.
