Todd Saunders(@toddsaunders):I have a (rapidly) growing conviction that "best practices" in software are just artifacts of product limitations. We called them best practices because software couldn't adapt to all the bespoke feature requests. AI removes that constraint, and it's the single biggest impact AI will have on the industry. All software will become malleable. It will bend around your business rather than you trying to figure out how to fit your business into the software. Paulo didn't change his fencing business to fit the software he was using... he changed the software to fit his business. IMO this is as significant a platform shift as the move from on-prem to SaaS.
