My hope was that this would allow us to move away from SaaS, get a fast native software ecosystem where you store the data on your own machines.
Going back to the old ways, where software was shrink wrapped, fast and local. So if that's where we end up I think we failed to make use of the potential in this forced decoupling event.

I would prefer that, but the GP was asking what a startup should try to do, and I think trying to get people to go back to using their own machines would be an additional barrier.
- cruzcampo 1y agoI do wonder if building software that runs on your own machine would be a market advantage in the EU. One could market strongly with the data privacy / sovereignty angle that resonates a lot more in Europe than the US.
