Can you say "Pivot"
"SaaS applications ... will collapse in the agent era". So many bangers in this BG2 podcast with Satya Nadella... - The business logic is all going to agents - He's pushing the "sell work, not software" idea - Highlights customer service, finance/ops as hot use cases - Microsoft is trying to "collapse it all", which I think means using agents as a wedge to rethink what the application stack looks like - Infrastructure is not a winner-take-all market I agree with these takes, although these changes usually take longer and are messier than most people realize. BTW, Benioff is saying many of the same things. Worth considering when CEOs of two of the world's biggest SaaS companies are talking about how their industry will be disrupted. If you're thinking about your career (or investing) seems like you want to get long the data layer and agents. And then short the traditional SaaS application layer (although many SaaS cos will successfully transition to agent models).
