Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Salesforce is so funny to me cause cloud computing, databases, large datasets, etc. are basically all I do professionally; I've met people from Salesforce, I've seen talks from Salesforce; I'm more-or-less aware of how Tableu works, which they own.
Gun to my head, I would never be able to tell you what the fuck that company sells. For all I can tell it's door-to-door cookie Sales by a Force of girl scouts. I was to their site more than a dozen times, I read through their wiki article, I tried to find out wtf they do, no luck. It's like an SCP monster that erases all prior knowledge of it you had the moment you stop looking. They played everyone for absolute fools.
CRM as a service with a fucking ton of whatever dumb bullshit they think they might be able to sell you on top
the CRM as a service bit more or less works? probably? with work at your end? We use it at the day job and it's like better than not. It's the ultimate boring-but-functional product for enterprises.
