I've gotten some good mail in response to my SaaS rants including one from Anthony Iannarino, author of the TheSalesBlog , and another from Vinnie Mirchandani, author of The Deal Architect.

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise. As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.

I’m at war with the term SaaS. Over-used, almost meaningless today, it once referred to software-as-a-service – the outsourcing of software-intensive business processes – something that had been around at least a generation before I got involved in it in 1979 when we called it multi-hosting or later multi-tenancy.

Before I got married, I saved up for two years to buy a house without a mortgage to avoid title insurance and interest expense. When I started TempWorks, the first year was spent in our finished attic room.

I would travel down there periodically from Rochester where my wife was going to Mayo Medical School to buy walnut and cherry wood. The Amish sold their fine hardwoods for about $1 a board foot compared to the $5 to $10 you would pay at a lumberyard, and their wood tended to come from smaller trees that provided unusual grain patterns for
