true that there is a some kind of a ceiling of what can or can't be done. But that ceiling is way up there. Also, there are enough examples and articles and code that allows enough combination to be made so that its good enough - and that is a very important bar.
There are A LOT of businesses (even big ones managing money and what not) that rely on spreadsheets to do so much. Could this have been an app/service/SaaS/whatever ? probably.
What if these orgs can (mostly) internally solidify some of these processes? what if they don't need an insanely expensive salesforce implementor that can add "custom logic" ?
A lot of times companies will replace "complex software" with half complex process!
What if they don't need Salesforce at all because they need a reasonable simple CRM and don't want to (or shouldn't) pay $10k/seat/year ?
There are still going to be very differentiating apps and services here and there, but as time move on these "technological" advantages will erode and with AI they erode way faster.
I would argue that due to the way MCP servers/tools are added to calls, there will be a pre-step that will figure out which MCPs are even relevant for a request prior to executing it.
Yeah. The clients are responsible for doing this right now but I could also imagine an MCP wrapper helping as it gets more complex - or maybe single-focused clients emerge that do a better job for a limited number of MCPs and tasks.
Most Thinkpads will work just fine out of the box. The hardware is great (I specifically like the keyboard and the little red point mouse).
The T series (and W series) are the work horses here with various screen sizes, disk options and RAM.
I personally use the X1 Carbon 3rd gen (X series) as it is comparable in specification to a Macbook Pro 13" (I have the one with the 16GB of RAM). It's a little costly but its worth while and will probably serve me for the next 2+ years.
